Prepare the turkey, to remove legs, cut through the skin and pull joint firmly away from body then cut through ball and socket joints.
Cut away the 'oyster' on the back of the turkey so leg and thigh comes away cleanly.
With a thin, sharp knife, bone both legs and stuff with sausage meat.
Wrap tightly in tin foil and chill to set the shape.
Prepare the crown, cut off wing tips and, for easier carving, take out the wishbone and cut away back bone with poultry shears.
Lift up the breast skin with your fingers and separate it from the flesh.
Divide the herb butter between the two breast flaps and pull the skin back over.
Season well, place in a roasting tin and cover loosely with butter paper or foil.
Cook the turkey, put the foil-wrapped legs in a roasting pan and cook at 180C/350F/Gas4 for 45 minutes. Reduce temperature to 160C/320F/Gas 2 and cook for a further 15 minutes then remove foil and cook for a further 30 minutes, straining off any juices for the gravy.
Cook the crown for 1-1½ hours at 180C/350F/Gas 4 until juices run clear and let the bird rest for 30 minutes before carving
