Method

  • 1.Preheat oven to 180C.
  • 2.Combine the breadcrumbs, raisins, pistachio, parsley and lemon rind in a bowl. Add the eggs and stir until combined.
  • 3.Remove excess fat and giblets from the turkey. Wipe inside and out with paper towel. Fill cavity with the breadcrumb mixture. Tie legs together with kitchen string.

  • Add a small amount of water to a large roasting pan. Place turkey, breast-side up, on a wire rack in pan.

  • 4.Arrange the prosciutto, overlapping slightly, over the turkey. Tuck the thyme sprigs underneath the prosciutto. Cover the turkey with non-stick baking paper, then cover the pan with foil. Roast in oven for 2 1/2 hours.

  • 5.Remove paper and foil.
  • Increase oven temperature to 200C. Roast for 35-45 minutes or until prosciutto is crisp and the juices run clear when the turkey's thigh is pierced with a skewer. Transfer turkey to a plate and cover with foil. Set aside for 15 minutes to rest.

  • 6.Meanwhile, to make the white wine gravy, discard the liquid from the roasting pan. Place pan over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until the mixture bubbles. Add the stock and wine and cook, scraping the pan with a flat-edged wooden spoon to dislodge any bits that have cooked onto the base, for 8-10 minutes or until the gravy thickens.

  • 7.Transfer the turkey to a serving platter and serve with white wine gravy.
