ROAST WITH THE MOST: Peppered lemon & thyme turkey with golden crackling

This year, we made it our mission to develop a turkey recipe that gives a perfectly cooked bird with golden, crisp skin, and we think we’ve cracked it. The secret ingredient is baking powder.

We’ve chosen to cook using oil, because while butter adds flavour, it also contains water, which can lead to soggy skin. .
