Method

  1. Prepare and season the turkey

    • Remove the turkey from its packaging and take out the contents, then rinse and dry it thoroughly.
    • Rub the outside with olive oil, salt, marjoram, thyme and rosemary.
    • Separate the breast skin and slide a stick of butter under each side.

  2. Make the stuffing and truss

    • Prepare the boxed stuffing following the package directions, adding one egg per box.
    • Stuff both the neck and the main cavity of the turkey.
    • Secure the loose neck skin with toothpicks, tie the legs with cooking twine and fold the wings back.
    • Add more seasoning to the outside of the turkey.
    Step 2

  3. Roast the turkey

    • Cover the turkey with a foil hood, leaving vent holes on each side.
    • Roast at 175 °C (350 °F), about 20 minutes per pound, removing the foil for the last hour to brown the skin.
    • Check the thickest part reaches 74 °C (165 °F), then let the turkey rest.

  4. Hard-boil the eggs

    • Halve lengthwise and remove the yolks.
