Method

Make the stuffing by combining all the ingredients. Cover and chill.
Use some of the mixture to stuff the turkey. Shape any leftover mixture into golf-ball-sized balls and keep chilled.
While the turkey roasts, cut the bacon rashers in half lengthways and wrap around the chipolatas, pushing a little thyme sprig into each bundle. Place the chipolatas and stuffing balls in a roasting tin lined with greaseproof paper. Scatter over a handful of thyme.
Place in the oven when the turkey comes out and roast for 30 mins, until cooked through and golden.
