Instructions to make Christmas turkey with stuffing:

- Put the cranberries in a bowl. Pour in some bubbly
- Enough to cover the cranberries
- Add the citric juice and leave the cranberries happily soaking
- Wash and chop the onions. Put a little oil in a large pan, add the onions and heat gently for 5 minutes. Wash and chop the sage leaves, pick the thyme leaves off the stalks.
- Chop the celery and add it to the pan, together with the herbs. Stir and heat for another 5 minutes.
- Add the soaked cranberries, cava and juice
- Add the cashew nuts, stir and leave to simmer for about 10 minutes
- Prepare the glass of vegetable stock and cous cous
- Add the stock to the pan, turn the heat up and when it starts bubbling, turn the heat off, add the cous cous
- And cover the pan. Leave standing for 10 minutes and turn your attention to the turkey.
- Turn the oven on - set at 250º. Line the baking tray with foil - leave enough either side to cover the turkey. Wash the turkey and pat dry with a clean cloth or kitchen paper. Wash you hands and cover them with oil, salt and pepper. Rub the turky all over and wash your hands again
- Take the lid off the pan. The cous cous should have asborbed all the liquid. If there is any remaining liquid at the bottom of the pan, just turn the heat on high and stir until it evaporates
- Stuff the turkey. Don't pack it in too tightly . it needs some air pockets

Put back in the oven for one more hour
