    Finely dice the bacon. Peel 2 onions and chop finely. Clean, wash and finely dice the celery. Wash parsley, dab dry and chop finely. Finely dice white bread. Leave the bacon out in a pan.

    Place the turkey on the fat pan of the oven and brush with melted butter. Spread onions and carrots around the turkey. Roast in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for approx. 3 1/2 hours.
