Prepare the turkey by using a slow-growing variety.

Make a mixture with 1 pack of good quality butter, 2 sprigs of rosemary, a good pinch of black pepper, and a quarter of nutmeg by scrunching it together.

Cut up some of the turkey skin to incorporate into the butter mixture.

Do not stuff the turkey; instead, place some Christmas-themed items like beetroots or smashed Indian poppadoms in the cavity to steam and flavor the turkey.

Place the turkey in the oven and roast it until cooked perfectly.
