- To cook, heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Smear the herby butter all over the crown, working it under the skin.

- Remove the turkey from the oven and set aside. Use a small sheet of foil to make an open package of the wood chips. Place the package in a dryfrying panand heat until smoking, then transfer to the roasting tin. Cover everything in a large tent of foil to trap the smoke and leave the turkey to rest for 20 mins before unwrapping andcarving. Save the juices from the tin to make a smoky gravy.
