Using ingredients wisely means you get a luxury Christmas dinner for less with this brilliantly simple and quick roast turkey with trimmings – all for under £5 per head. Frozen turkey breast joints are fantastic value and this one is made special by flavouring it with clementine and thyme and serving with a rich gravy.
See the Recipe Tips for advice on substitutions to make this recipe cheaper and how to cook it using a smaller turkey joint (1.5kg/3lb 5oz is generous for six people and you're likely to have some leftovers).
