Mary Berry's Unique Method for Keeping Christmas Turkey Warm Revealed
# Real reason Mary Berry wraps Christmas turkey in sleeping bag
Mary Berry, the beloved former star of the Great British Bake Off, has a unique method for ensuring her Christmas turkey remains succulent and warm throughout the festive season. Instead of relying on traditional methods, she reveals that a sleeping bag is a crucial part of her turkey preparation.
Berry explains her technique in detail, stating, "I bring the turkey – I have it ready by 11am and then I wrap it in foil, old clean towels and a sleeping bag without a zip, and put it in the boot of the car for the drive to my son's house. It stays piping hot and the meat is rested, even after four or five hours, because of the bulk of the thing." This innovative approach not only preserves the turkey's temperature but also allows it to rest properly, enhancing its flavor and texture.
The method reflects Berry's commitment to family traditions. As she puts it, "You know, he always comes first; that is the way I was brought up." Such dedication to ensuring her family enjoys a perfect holiday meal showcases her culinary philosophy and strong family values during the festive season.
