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. It might sound strange, but one of the things we learned during lockdown is that baking powder makes poultry skin and pork crackling crisper. We’ve chosen to cook using oil, because while butter adds flavour, it also contains water, which can lead to soggy skin. .
