Directions
Start by cleaning the turkey, removing the entrails and washing it inside and out. Remember to dry it well, preferably with kitchen paper, this will help the butter and flavors adhere much better.
Next, finely chop the black truffle and mix it with the two sticks of butter at room temperature. This step is crucial to give that unique touch to our turkey.
Now, stuff the turkey with this butter and truffle mixture, making sure it covers all the internal parts. In the same way, spread some of the mixture over the turkey, to give it a beautiful golden shine at the end.
Place the turkey in an oven-proof pan. Add around it the small potatoes, julienned onions and whole garlic. Drizzle with the brandy and add the salt, pepper, thyme and rosemary.
Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the turkey for approximately 4 hours. Remember, every oven is different, so keep an eye on it and adjust the time as needed.
Once cooked and browned, remove from the oven and let it rest for about 20 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute for a juicier turkey.
