With Christmas around the corner, here’s how to cook the perfect turkey.

all about: turkey

CENTREPIECE

12

Tony Pace

grew up

helping his

dad Guido look

after the turkeys

on the family farm

and today he is still

caring for these large

birds — all 60,000

of them.

Tony raises day-old turkey poults for

Inghams— all Nicholas whites, a breed

originally from the United States — until they

are between 70 to 120 days old. The mature

birds can weigh anything from a small 4.5kg

hen up to a giant 16kg ‘tom’ or male turkey.

Ingham’s is Australia’s largest turkey

supplier and while most of us may eat turkey

only at Christmas — we consume just 1

kilogram a year compared to 37kg of chicken

— this very lean meat is rapidly attracting

more and more fans. A contract grower with

Inghams for 12 years, Tony certainly knows

his birds and spends his days monitoring

the water and feed — a grain mix made at

an Ingham feed mill that contains no growth

promoters or antibiotics — for the large

flock in his care at his 18-hectare property at

Bargo on NSW’s South Coast. Things have

changed a lot since the 44-year-old helped

his dad. To even join Ingham’s select group of

22 growers in NSW and 7 in South Australia,

Tony needed to satisfy the company’s strict

guidelines to ensure the bird’s welfare and

build special sheds.

“We work closely with our growers to

make sure standards are met,” explains

Simon Crabb, Ingham’s general manager

operations for turkeys. “And many of them

have been with us for over 10 years and they

usually have a family history of poultry farming

— they really know the business.”

Woolworths works closely with Simon

and regularly visit farmers. “Shane Dinan,

Woolworths Business Manager for Poultry

is very involved in talking to our growers. He

won’t sit behind a desk, he actually gets out

into the field to do business,” says Simon.

HOW TO STUFF

Rinse turkey with cold water

and dry with paper towel.

Fill front cavity, shaping from

the outside. Secure neck skin

over opening with toothpicks.

Fill main cavity and tie legs

with string. Place in a roasting

pan and brush with butter.

This should be done just prior

to cooking.

Chop 200g rindless bacon, 2 onions and 2 stalks celery.

Fry over medium heat for 10 minutes until onion and celery

are very soft. Transfer to a bowl and add 2 green apples,

cored and chopped, 8 cups fresh breadcrumbs, ¼ cup

chopped herbs (we used sage, parsley and thyme) and

2 eggs, lightly whisked. Mix together well and season with

salt and pepper. Use to fill turkey cavity.

HOW TO BASTE

During cooking, baste every

30 minutes with melted butter

or pan juices. This will ensure

a rich colour and keep flesh

moist during the long cooking

time. Cover wings and ends

of drumsticks with foil to

prevent over cooking.

HOW TO CARVE

Starting from wing side of

breast, slice meat and stuffing,

working towards breastbone.

Remove legs by slicing

between leg and body.

Cut through joint, slice leg

and thigh meat and arrange

on platter.

Apple, sage & herb stuffing Preparation: 20 minutes

Makes: 10 cups (enough for a 4kg turkey)

seasoning that further enhances

the flavour of the pork.

FRESH TIPS• Cooking pork is easy – cook for 4-6 minutes each side or until juices run clear to pink.

• To test if pork is cooked to your liking, gently press it with tongs. Pork should feel firm

but springy.

• Pork goes well with all kinds of sauces and flavours – from plum and soy sauces through

to lemons and apples. It also is great when teamed with herbs such as rosemary and

sage. Stick sprigs or leaves into rind before roasting.

• Pork steaks and cutlets make an easy summer meal – simply barbecue for 3-4 minutes

each side then serve with a simple green leave salad.

• For an extra crispy coating, brush pork with olive oil then coat in ground sage, rosemary,

salt and pepper before barbecuing.

The Smith Family was founded on a simple

act of kindness 87 years ago at Christmas

time, when five businessmen delivered

toys and books to children at a Sydney

orphanage. Today through the delivery of

8,700 Christmas hampers, filled with items

donated by Woolworths, the organisation

acknowledges its origins as a Christmas

charity. And throughout the year it focuses

on breaking the cycle of disadvantage

through the provision of education and

support to disadvantaged kids and families

across the nation. Since 2004, Woolworths

has donated items to The Smith Family’s

food hampers, and Woolworths staff also

help pack and deliver these hampers to

disadvantaged families across Australia.

How you can help

You can help rewrite the future for

disadvantaged Aussie kids this Christmas

by purchasing a set of gift labels uniquely

designed by children supported by The Smith

Family. Each roll has five different festive

designs or pick up one of The Smith Family’s

novelty Light Wands, ideal to replace candles

at Community Carol events. Both Light

Wands and Gift Labels are $4 and available

Recycle RightWe are all aware of the importance of recycling,

but did you know that if the materials are not

provided in the correct way they can not be

recycled? One of the common mistakes with

kerbside recycling is putting the recyclables

into plastic bags and then putting them in the

recycling bin. Unfortunately, when this material

gets to the recycling plant the sorters must

assume that this is a plastic bag of rubbish and

it has to be removed from the recycling stream

and thrown into landfill. So remember to put

your recyclables directly into your recycling bin

and not into a plastic bag.

Other ways you can help Recycle Right are:

❋ Remove the lids from bottles and jars before

putting them in your recycling bin.

❋ Remember to give containers, jars and

bottles a quick rinse before putting them in

your recycling bin. This helps minimise

contamination of newspapers and other items

in your recycling bin.

❋ If your council runs an organic waste

collection be sure you use it. Why not invest

in a compost bin or worm farm for your home?

❋ Woolworths is supporting Planet Ark’s

National Recycling Week November 9-15.

For more information go to woolworths.com.au

Described as Australia’s most

lethal cancer, pancreatic cancer

affects more than 2,000 of us

nation-wide each year.

Unfortunately, most of those

diagnosed with pancreatic cancer do not

fare well and roughly the same number of

Australians die from this disease, as did

25 years ago.

The Avner Nahmani Pancreatic Cancer

Research Fund is named after a man who

contracted and died of the disease. In the

months before his death in October 2008,

Avner, a former employee of Woolworths and

his wife, Caroline Kelly, established the fund to

raise awareness and much-needed money for

research into this lesser known cancer.

According to Dr Yu Jo Chua of The Canberra

Hospital, the principal investigator for the

THE MISSING LINKThere have been no specific links with gastro-intestinal health and particular foods or environmental factors, Dr Yu Jo Chua says. However, he adds, smoking and obesity may increase the risk of developing pancreatic cancer.

These include cancers of the digestive system

– the oesophagus, stomach, liver, gall bladder,

pancreas, small and large bowels, rectum

and other digestive organs.

Treatment may include surgery, radiotherapy

and chemotherapy, but due to the high death

rate, new types of treatments and drugs need

to be tested and developed urgently.

Australia-wide almost 89 people die every

week from GI cancers, amounting to almost

two deaths in each state every day.

Dr Chua says part of the reason pancreatic

cancer in particular is so difficult to diagnose

is because the early symptoms are vague

and easily mistaken for other less serious

conditions.

“Symptoms which should prompt people

to see a doctor include persistent upper

abdominal pain, jaundice, where the skin

pancreatic research project to be conducted

by the GI CANCER Institute, “The average

person is probably less aware of pancreatic

cancer, because few lay people understand

where the pancreas is in the body and its

functions, which in addition to regulating blood

sugar, includes making digestive enzymes”.

Since it was established, Avner’s Fund,

of which Woolworths is a major supporter,

has already raised just over half its current

target of $1 million. The money will be put

toward pancreatic cancer research, which

will ultimately lead to improved treatments

for this disease and the development of a

personalized approach towards management.

Gastro-intestinal cancers are the most

common forms of cancer in Australia,

accounting for 20 percent of all new

cancer diagnoses annually. IMA

“My husband’s life was cut short bypancreatic cancer. I was heartbroken, notonly was my husband gone, but so were all the hopes and plans that were goingto the shape the rest of our lives together. Please support dedicated research into pancreatic cancer and help change thefuture for all pancreatic cancer sufferers and their families.” CAROLINE KELLY

and eyes turn yellow, a change in urine colour

similar to that of dark tea and significant

unexplained weight loss,” he says.

Fewer than five percent of pancreatic cancer

patients live longer than five years after

diagnosis, making it the most lethal of all adult

cancers. Some experts believe there has been

little or no progress made in the fight against

pancreatic cancer lasting the last decade.

“The scientific research techniques with which

we can really start to understand cancers have

only really been developed in recent years,”

says Dr Chua.

“For example, current research is focused

on studying the genes which are abnormal

in cancer cells and which determine the

aggressiveness of cancers and their likelihood

of responding to different treatments.

“With regard to the Avner Nahmani Fund,

I think it is important people appreciate that

although pancreatic cancer is one of the

most common causes of cancer-related

death, funding is often directed toward more

common forms of the disease, such as bowel,

breast,lung or prostate cancer”.

“The focus here is on an often neglected type

of cancer for which progress is sorely needed.

The GI CANCER Institute is conducting

important work to improve the treatment of

these patients,” explains Dr Chua.

❋

An old friendAvner Nahmani was a citizen of the

world; born and raised in Israel, he

moved to the highlands of Scotland,

became a farmer, migrated to Australia,

and eventually exchanged his life on

the farm for life in the corporate world.

We were fortunate enough to have

Avner as part of our Woolworths family

for almost 27 years.

His 56 years of experience crossed

cultures, countries and careers. It

shaped a man that people admired,

respected and loved for his sense of

humour, his sense of equality and his

pragmatic and astute approach to

getting things done.

It was on the very day that Avner

moved into his dream home in beautiful

Avalon, NSW that he fell sick. After

two months of pain and many different

tests he was diagnosed with advanced

pancreatic cancer. The prognosis was

bleak with survival rates between 3-6

months and the only treatment available

was just to manage the pain.

Each year over 2000 Australians

are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

The difference between a longer life

and painful death is research. We need

your help to raise awareness and funds

to support research

and learn more about

Pancreatic Cancer. To

help, log onto

avnersfund.org.au

Dr Rosemary Stanton says…PANCREATIC CANCER

AND DIET

There is little evidence that any

specific foods assist in preventing pancreatic

cancer. Research studies so far have found:

❋ It’s important to avoid more than 2 standard

alcoholic drinks a day.

❋ A Mediterranean-style diet (fats supplied by

olive oil and nuts, high in vegetables, fruits and

other plant products (legumes, grains) and

low in meat, sugar, saturated fats and most

processed foods) may be helpful.

❋ A decrease in meat fat may be beneficial,

so avoid large quantities of meat, all meat fat

and choose only extra lean sausages.

❋ Studies on high or low intake of dairy foods

have shown no benefits or harms.

❋ The glycaemic index (GI) of carbohydrate

foods doesn’t appear to offer help or

hindrance.

❋ Specific fruits and vegetables do not

appear to have any particular benefits,

although a high intake of these foods helps

the body’s overall health.
