If you stuffed the Turkey, put it on the side of the neck, pushing the breast. Fasten the neck two wooden or metal sticks crosswise. Weigh the Turkey and calculate the cooking time: allow 18 minutes per 450 grams.

Lubricate the form and put the Turkey. Melt the remaining butter. Cut in half orange and half to squeeze in Turkey, and the other half in the melted butter. Coat the Turkey with orange oil and season with salt and pepper. Save a bit of orange oil for sprinkling later.

Cover loosely with foil and bake for the allotted time or until tender. Every hour not forget to grease the Turkey rest of the butter. 1 hour before the end of baking, remove the foil so the meat is browned.

To make the garnish. To wrap every sprig of rosemary a strip of bacon and put them on a baking sheet. Set aside. Pull the Turkey from the oven, put on a dish, cover tightly with foil and let stand for 30 minutes before cutting without turning off the oven. For 20 minutes before lunch, put it in the oven rolls with bacon and bake until tender.

Meanwhile, make the gravy. Pour 6 tablespoons of the juice resulting from roasting the Turkey in a large jug and leave. Once the fat has risen to the surface, it is necessary to remove the spoon, and the rest on the day dark juices mixed with 600 ml of water or broth, then add white wine (or use only the broth, if you want). Heat remaining in the form of liquid and mix with the flour so that it doesn't get lumps. Pour all the liquid from the broth back into the pan, bring to the boil, stirring occasionally, cook until slightly thickens. Season with mustard, salt and black pepper.

Around turkeys arrange sprigs of rosemary and serve with gravy and baked potatoes.

Put the mixture into the pan and bake 25-30 minutes until Golden brown. Use for stuffing turkeys, geese, or breast of lamb.
