Preheat your oven to 230°C/ 210°C fan
Season the turkey with salt and pepper and place breast side down in a large roasting dish. Cover loosely with foil
Cook the turkey at 230°C/ 210°C fan for the first 20-60 minutes (depending on size), before reducing the heat to 190°C/ 170°C fan and roasting for 30 minutes per kg
Remove the foil and turn your turkey right side up for the final 30 minutes of roasting time for lovely crispy skin
