For a 12-14 lb (5.5-6.5 kg) turkey: Cook for 40 minutes then reduce the temperature to gas mark 3, 325 F (170 C) and cook for a further 3-31/2 hours. Then give it a final 30 minutes (uncovered) at gas mark 6, 400 F (200 C).
Preheat your oven to full whack, get the turkey in the roasting tray and cover with foil. As soon as it goes in the oven, immediately turn the heat down to 180ÂºC/350ÂºF/gas 4. As a rough guide, you want to cook the turkey for about 35 to 40 minutes per kilogram, so a 7kg turkey will want about 4 to 4Â½ hours in the oven.But there are so many variables such as the sort of oven you have and the quality of your bird.f youâve got any herb stalks left over, put them in the cavity of the turkey for added flavour as it cooks. Cover the turkey in cling film and keep in the fridge until you need it. Take your turkey out of the fridge a few hours before you are ready to put it in the oven so it has time to come up to room temperature.
