Gauge it to compute the cooking time, permitting 20 mins for each kg, in addition to 70 mins (or 90 mins while broiling a crown over 4kg). Sit the turkey on a board, gently rub done with olive oil and season with pepper. Lay the pancetta or smudgy bacon over the turkey, somewhat covering to cover it. Fold the cuts under the bird to get at the base. Embed little rosemary twigs aimlessly between the cuts. Season with pepper. Attach the crown across in 2-3 spots with butcher's string, to keep the shape intact. Put the onion wedges in a huge cooking tin and sit the crown on top. Cover the turkey with a free tent of foil, then broil following your determined time.
