-
10.Transfer the rolled turkey to a roasting pan and cover with aluminum foil.
-
11.Roast in the preheated oven for 4 hours, removing the foil during the last hour to allow the skin to crisp up and turn golden brown.

Treat your ingredients with care...
- Danish rye bread — Ensure the bread cubes are dry and slightly stale for better absorption of flavors in the stuffing.
- Bacon — Opt for a high-quality bacon with a good balance of fat and meat for the best flavor in the stuffing.
Tips & Tricks
- To ensure even cooking, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the poultry. It should reach 75°C (165°F) for safe consumption.
- For a crispier skin, baste the rolled turkey with the pan juices every 30 minutes during roasting.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed for up to 3 days. They make delicious sandwiches or can be used in salads.
Serving advice
Slice the Danish-style Stuffed Poultry into thick slices and serve it with traditional Danish sides like caramelized potatoes, red cabbage, and pickled cucumbers. Garnish with fresh herbs for an added touch of freshness.
Presentation advice
Present the sliced Danish-style Stuffed Poultry on a large platter, arranging the slices in an attractive pattern. Decorate the platter with sprigs of fresh herbs and serve with a side of the traditional Danish sides.
