- And cover the pan. Leave standing for 10 minutes and turn your attention to the turkey.
- Turn the oven on - set at 250º. Line the baking tray with foil - leave enough either side to cover the turkey. Wash the turkey and pat dry with a clean cloth or kitchen paper. Wash you hands and cover them with oil, salt and pepper. Rub the turky all over and wash your hands again
- Take the lid off the pan. The cous cous should have asborbed all the liquid. If there is any remaining liquid at the bottom of the pan, just turn the heat on high and stir until it evaporates
- Stuff the turkey. Don't pack it in too tightly . it needs some air pockets

Put back in the oven for one more hour
