   Put the filling into the baby turkey. Stick the baby turkey with wooden skewers and tie up with kitchen string. Tie the wings of the baby turkey on its back so that they do not stick out and burn in the oven. Place the baby turkey on a grid with the breast side up and brush with oil. Chop the neck of the baby turkey into pieces. Clean and wash the carrot and cut it into large cubes. Peel and roughly chop 2 onions. Place the neck pieces, carrot and onions in the fat pan of the oven. Place the baby turkey with the grid on top and cook in the oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 2 hours.
