Method

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Rub the turkey with butter, salt, and pepper. Place onion, carrots, and celery inside the cavity.
Roast the turkey for 3-4 hours, basting occasionally.
While the turkey roasts, boil the potatoes until tender, then roast with oil and herbs.
Mix flour and milk to make a thick sauce, then add to the turkey juices for gravy.
Prepare Yorkshire pudding by mixing flour, milk, and eggs, then baking until puffed.
Before serving, check that the thickest part of the poultry reaches 74°C (165°F) with a food thermometer.
