Stuffing

I'm a bit of a newbie at making Christmas turkey. Someone else usually makes it! This year my family came over for Christmas eve dinner so it was my turn to present the turkey. I got myself a 3.5kg free-range bird and I figured the huge cavity inside needed to be stuffed!

STUFFING
 Fry a large chopped onion in a bit of butter and olive oil until soft. Add 2 cloves crushed garlic. Remove from heat.
 When cool, add 1 box of Krummies breadcrumbs, 3 eggs, the juice of 1 lemon, 1 cup slivered almonds, chopped parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
Stuff the turkey! Pour a bit of water in the bottom of the tray.
Cover the wing tips and leg tips with foil and bake at 160 C for 2-3 hours depending on the size.
Test the internal temperature - it is done at 74 C.
