  2. Make the stuffing by adding all ingredients for it to a large roasting tray and mixing well. Set aside.
  3. Bring refrigerated turkey to room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel.
  4. Place turkey on a roasting rack placed in a roasting dish. Mix butter, sage, allspice, salt and pepper in a bowl. Brush marinade all over the turkey with a pastry brush. Cover turkey with foil and roast in the oven for 2 hours. Remove from oven, baste with the butter marinade. Return to the oven, uncovered. Add the tray of stuffing to the oven.
