Tips and advice for a turkey stuffed Christmas turkey

• If necessary, we will add half a teaspoon of cornstarch to the sauce and heat it for a few minutes, stirring until it reaches the desired consistency.
• That the roast is already prepared is an advantage not only to save time. When you prepare a roasted turkey it is usually better when it has been in the fridge for one day, cut it and serve it the next day.
• After passing through the refrigerator, the meat is firmer and we can obtain a much more perfect cut than just made.
• This is what happens with this turkey, which is almost ready, just by heating we can get similar size and thin slices. This firmness disappears completely when heated with the sauce, leaving a totally tender meat.
• And if you are not many at Christmas, do not worry. It can be consumed as a cold cut, in a sandwich and alone. Sandwich is how I like it best.
