INGREDIENTS 1 whole turkey (deboned) 2 sticks of celery 2 carrots 4-5 pints of water 115g sausage meat 115g chopped suet/butter 60g apple 25g ground almonds 115g pistachio nuts 1tsp coriander ½ tsp ground allspice 1 lemon 2 eggs METHOD Start by making your stuffing. Combine your suet/butter, apple, almonds, chopped pistachios, coriander, allspice and sausage meat. Then add some lemon juice and the eggs. Now you can stuff your turkey. Once it's full, you can sew up the bird to hold everything in place. Wrap it in brown paper, then cover tightly with muslin cloth. Tie everything together with some string. Add your bird to a pan and cover with water. You'll need to boil for at least an hour and a half, but larger birds make take longer. Once your turkey is cooked and cooled, remove the wrapping and string. You can then decorate with some mayonnaise with a small amount of gelatin added. Add some pickled walnuts to some hatelets or skewers and adorn with parsley.
