A tip i discovered a few years ago... which I'm sure everyone knows anyway...
Cook the turkey wrap it in foil to rest and cover it with tea towels while its still in its pan i dont lift mine out as its red hot.. and hey presto your oven is free to cook the spuds and roast veg. I struggled for years to cram it all in my oven before doing this by accident might i add. the turkey was still pipping hot 90 mins later!

Love it.
Must admit I made the Jamie Oliver gravy a couple of years ago and it was lovely but very time consuming.
I made it about a week before and froze it so it just needed heating up on Christmas Day

Love it but no aunt bessies for me! You can make yorkshire puds ahead of time and just pop in oven for a moment when dishing everything else up to warm them again.

But I definitely agree that we seem to think we can double the amount we can eat at a normal roast dinner which is a bit mad really. We still give it a good go...

For the last few years we have had Christmas dinner about a week before then have an Indian takeaway on the day. This way I get to relax on the day and join in rather than spend all my time in the kitchen. I wish I had done this years ago when my kids were little and enjoyed the day playing with them instead of being busy and rushed. Just to add I always prepared the potatoes and veg the day before.

Last Christmas day was Cheesecake factory in Santa Monica, boxing day a hotdog on the pier. Perfect. 😊
This year 3 meats, 24 veg, yorkies and all the other trimmings, blooming hell why can't we just do simple 🤷

Portion control.
You don't need to spend hours peeling & chopping.Buy it pre prepped or like me only peel what will be eaten ,20 carrots a head is a little over the top.

My Sunday roasts are pretty huge so the only addition at Christmas is Turkey and an extra meat ( beef joint going in slow cooker) and pigs in blankets. Everything else is the same as a normal roast for me and no extra people either.
Never frozen roasties and freshly made Yorkshire’s that go in about 20 mins before serving.

I’m sorry but sprouts are food of the gods, as long as not over done just so sweet.
