Pick up a pack of chicken stock cubes for just 80p from your local Asda. While you may be thinking the stock is for your gravy, it actually has an additional use. Cooking experts at Mum In The Mad House shared a top tip for using stock cubes to elevate your turkey.
They recommended taking a couple of the stock cubes and "crumbling" them over the turkey skin before cooking. Next, they suggest rubbing in the flavouring cube, covering your entire turkey. This helps to marinate and enhance the flavour and seasoning of the turkey.
For additional flavour and enhanced moisture, they revealed an extra step. The cooking pros advised any aspiring Christmas Day chefs to take some butter and place it under the turkey's skin. This will slowly spread throughout the bird as you cook it in your oven.
