Steps:
- Up to two days ahead, make the salt mix by grinding the salt with the thyme leaves and pepper in a spice grinder or using a pestle and mortar. Sit the turkey in a roasting tin and gently push your fingers under the skin, starting from the neck, until you can push your whole hand in down the length of the breast. Take care not to tear the skin.
- Season the bird all over with the salt mix, inside and out and under the skin. Leave the turkey in the tin, breast-side up, and put in the fridge for up to two days - the longer you salt it, the more succulent the turkey will be. For the crispest skin, leave the turkey uncovered so it dries out, but loosely cover it if you prefer.
- Tip the butter, vegetable stock powder and lemon zest into a small bowl and mix until completely combined. Cover and chill. Can be made a few days ahead or frozen, wrapped in cling film, for one month.
- Remove the turkey from the fridge an hour or so before you want to cook it. Remove the butter from the fridge to soften. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Work out your cooking time based on 40 mins per kg for the first 4kg, plus 45 mins for every kg after that.
- Use your hands to spread the butter under the skin so that it covers the entire breast area and work it into the crevice between the thigh and the main body, then smooth the skin over with your hands. Put the onion, lemon halves, and garlic in the cavity.
- Cover the tin loosely with foil and roast for the calculated cooking time. Around 30 mins before the end of cooking, increase the oven temperature to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, remove the foil, baste the turkey and return to the oven. When the turkey is beautifully brown and cooked through, remove from the oven and leave to rest on a warm platter covered with foil for up to 1 hr. Save the juices from the tin to make gravy.

ROASTED GARLIC AIOLI
Creamy roasted garlic aioli can be made quickly with leftover roasted garlic. We love roasted garlic and tend to bake more than one at a time for convenience and to be energy efficient.

Tips and Conclusion
Tips:
- For a crispier turkey skin, pat the turkey dry before roasting and brush it with melted butter. You can also increase the oven temperature during the last 30 minutes of roasting.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the turkey's doneness by piercing it with a fork. If the juices run clear, the turkey is done.
- Let the turkey rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- The pan sauce is a great way to add extra flavor to your turkey. Be sure to scrape up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan when making the sauce.
- If you don't have fresh parsley, you can use dried parsley instead. Just use about 1/4 of the amount of dried parsley that you would use fresh parsley.
Conclusion:
This garlic aioli roasted turkey with lemon parsley pan sauce is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for any special occasion. The turkey is roasted to perfection and the pan sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
