Def leave to rest. Think its to do with the protein in the meat or something and if left to rest it makes it easier to carve.

Yes, at least 20 - 30mins. Secret to cooking a turkey is high-low-high. Give it 30mins at high temp (220C) to seal, drop temp to 170 - 180C to slow cook for an extended time, then a quick blast back at 220C for 30 - 45mins to brown off. The slow cooking will ensure that you don't get any pink meat!
