- Place the turkey in a roasting pan and prick all over with the tip of a sharp knife. Drizzle it with the brandy. Set aside while you make the stuffing.
- To make the stuffing, heat the oil and butter in a saucepan and saute the onion, garlic, bacon, ham, olives to taste, wine and water until thoroughly cooked.
- In a small bowl beat eggs with parsley and breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste then add to the rest of the stuffing mix in the saucepan. Stir well with a wooden spoon until eggs are cooked. Use this mixture to stuff the turkey.
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
- Season the turkey with salt and pepper, then drizzle with orange juice and 1/2 cup oil.
- Cook in the oven for 3 hours, basting it every 45 minutes. If you think it is browning too quickly, cover with foil. Let turkey rest before removing the stuffing and carving.
