  I assume we just mix all the other ingredients together. I think this was in last months magazine so shall try and find it as I wanted to make this for Christmas. It certainly looks impressive and very useful that it can be made in advance and frozen

  I've already made this - it was in last months copy of Good Food. The most difficult thing about it is trying to keep the cranberries in when you're rolling it up if you've used fresh ones (I kept them nearer to the centre and they finished up in the right place). We've just cooked one roll and frozen the other for Christmas dinner; it tastes as good as it looks and is well worth the effort.

  There is an error in line 2 It should read Squeeze sausagemeat from sausages into large bowl then add all other ingredients except cranberries and streaky bacon. Season generously, then mix well by hand. Weigh out 450g of stuffing and mix a handful of cranberries into it. Use to stuff the neck of the turkey. The recipe then continues as above!

  It would appear that the first two items in the Method section of this recipe are identical and and there is no mention of how to make the stuffing. Although I could probably work out the rest I would prefer to follow the complete instructions. I shall look forward to making this recipe when it has been amended.

  I made it as a trial run for christmas when I will be feeding the hoards. Didnt use the sausages, bought ready made up stuffing mix from Sainsburys that was on the reduced shelf (already had apple sage and such in it), added the cranberrys, rolled it up (well I rolled it a couple of times as I had a little trouble with that, but it was really great. OK I cheated a little, but the idea was fab.

  bltt: you can get cranberries in France. I'm sure you already know that they're called canneberge (sometimes called airelles des marais - although this is rare). You should be able to find them in your local Carrefour, or Eddy Lecelerc. Success!

  I loved this! I made it from the recipe in the magazine and used frozen cranberries (shall use fresh next time!) Everyone who had some went back for seconds.

  This was delicious! Next time I make this I will tie the roll up with string before roasting. I roughly chopped the cranberries and pressed them into the sausage meat mix before rolling the whole thing up. The cranberries stayed in place.

  I live in Spain and did not have access to chestnuts so I put pine nuts in.I could not get cooking apples so I thinly sliced an eating apple and put it in a layer over the sausagemeat. I thought it was equally nice cold and sliced for a buffet. I am going to make one for NewYear's Eve using serano ham instead of bacon. It was certainly well received with the 'wow' factor.

  I made this from the magazine - just for stuffing the turkey, not to make the rolls. I did have some left over which I made into a roll (minus bacon) and cooked to serve along ide the turkey. One note of warning - if you use it to stuff the turkey the berries leak juice, which can make you think that the turkey is not done, as pink juices leak out of the cavity - so check everywhere else instead - our turkey was actually done just fine as per the timings suggested. It was delicious stuffing - and was even better cold the next day!

  Excellent recipe. We we're still eating and enjoying it days later with our leftover turkey.

  My Mum (who is a brillant cook) made this for Christmas dinner and my husband (not so brilliant) made it for New Year' Eve. Both results were fantastic-tasty, succulent and looked very impressive! I'll definately use this recipe when it's my turn to do the festive dinner next year.

  This stuffing roll was stunning to look at but the taste was nothing special. I made another stuffing (based on gingerbread crumbs and bacon) that didn't look so good but everyone preferred the taste of it and chose that one on their turkey sandwiches, while this one stayed in the fridge.

  As I usually go to family these days I thought I would 'make' something different as usually they say everything is covered just bring yourself. I have now been told told it can be my Christmas job now as everyone enjoyed it so much. I made it to the recipe after it had been amended
