Before you jump to Roast turkey with sweet chestnut, cranberry and port stuffing recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about The Simple Ways to Be Healthy.

You already know that, to achieve true health, your diet needs to be balanced and wholesome and you need to get a good amount of exercise. Unfortunately, we do not always have the time or the energy that this type of lifestyle demands. Working out at the gym isn’t something people make time for when they get off from work. People crave junk food, not veggies (unless they are vegetarians). You will be happy to discover that achieving good health doesn’t have to be hard. With training you can get all of the nutrients and the physical exercise that you need. Here are some ideas to be as healthy as possible.

Make smart decisions when shopping for groceries. When you make good decisions at the grocery store, your meals will get healthier automatically. Think about it: you aren’t going to want to deal with a busy store or a long drive through line at the end of the day. You want to go to your apartment and make a little something from your kitchen. Make sure that what you already have is healthy. This way—even if you choose something slightly greasy or not as good for you as it could be, you’re still choosing foods that are better for you than you would get at the local diner or fast food drive through window.

There are a good deal of things that work toward your getting healthy. Intensive gym visits and narrowly defined diets are not always the answer. Little things, when done every single day, can do a lot to enable you to get healthy and lose pounds. Being smart when you choose your food and activities is where it begins. Looking to get in as much exercise as possible is another. The numbers on the scale aren’t the only indication of your healthfulness. It has more to do with making your body as strong as it can be.

We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to roast turkey with sweet chestnut, cranberry and port stuffing recipe. You can have roast turkey with sweet chestnut, cranberry and port stuffing using 16 ingredients and 18 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to make Roast turkey with sweet chestnut, cranberry and port stuffing:
  1. Prepare garlic
  2. Get chestnuts
  3. Get walnuts
  4. Use cranberries
  5. Provide small bunch fresh sage
  6. Provide small bunch fresh thyme
  7. Provide limes (zest of)
  8. Use sausages
  9. Get breadcrumbs
  10. Provide large onion
  11. Provide port
  12. Provide cava (optional)
  13. Take fresh ginger
  14. You need turkey
  15. You need string
  16. Prepare stem celery
Steps to make Roast turkey with sweet chestnut, cranberry and port stuffing:
  1. Soak the cranberries in port and grated ginger for at least an hour
  2. Put the chestnuts on to boil for half an hour or so, leave them to cool and then peel them (I did this the evening before and once peeled, put them in the fridge)
  3. If you are going to make stock, put the turkey bones (or neck and giblets) into a large pan with some celery sticks, a leek, a couple of onions, 2 carrots, some bayleaves, generous pinch of salt, a large piece of peeled ginger and water (should almost cover ingredients). Covered and simmered for a couple of hours. This provided heaps of stock, some of which I put into the freezer for future soups, and some of which I put in the fridge for Christmas Day gravy.
  4. Chop the onion, celery and garlic as small as poss. Chop the walnuts and chestnuts and grate the bread. Wash and chop the herbs and get the meat out of the sausages.
  5. Sauté the onions and garlic in a little oil for about five minutes.
  6. Add the sausage meat and stir
  7. Add the port and cranberries and leave to simmer for 10 minutes. (I had an opened bottle of cava in the fridge so couldn't resist adding a slosh of that too)
  8. Add the nuts and breadcrumbs, stir well and simmer another 5-10 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed
  9. Add the herbs, stir well, cover and leave covered for 5 minutes more.
  10. Taste and add salt and black pepper accordingly. Put in an airtight container and store in the fridge if it is for future use. Or just start stuffing if you are doing the whole marathon in one go.
  11. This is what the stock looked like after 2 hours.
  12. Preheat the oven to 250º. Stuff your turkey (or bird of choice). I used string to tie ours but this isn't strictly necessary and I wouldn't have done so if it hadn't been deboned.
  13. Put the turkey in the oven, I put it in like this, with the baking sheet underneath to catch all the juices. After the first 30 minutes, put the heat down to 180º and then cooking time will be proportional to the size of your turkey - roughly 30 minutes per kg.
  14. To check that the turkey is done, stick a prong just above the leg. If the juices that come out are clear, it is fully cooked.
  15. Leave the turkey to rest for half an hour before carving
  16. While it is resting, heat the stock up and carefully pour the juices into the pan to make the gravy. Get your veg ready
  17. And put your par-boiled potatoes and parsnips in the baking sheet. Add salt and pepper and put in a very hot oven (25º) for half an hour so they crisp up nicely.
  18. Serve the carved turkey on large warmed plates so that family and friends can serve themselves. Enjoy and Happy Christmas!!!
