Turkey Crown
Simply the breast.
Our free range turkey crowns are made by removing the legs and spine of the bird making just a simple breast on the bone. Some families prefer just the white meat of the bird and we produce our free range turkey crowns to cater for just them!
The legs and breast of a bird cook at different rates. By removing the legs you can focus on ensuring the breast, the most premium meat, is perfectly cooked.
The crown of a turkey is a showstopping Christmas supper which will make a festive meal to remember.
Will be delivered fresh not frozen between the 18th-23rd December
Cooking guide
Remove your crown from the fridge at least 1 hour before cooking your bird. Soften some butter and gently spread under the skin to keep the bird moist.
Preheat your oven to 210°C and place your turkey crown into a roasting dish on a trivet of carrots, celery and onions.
Season well on the skin and add the turkey to the oven. Roast for around 30 minutes to achieve a good colour and crisp on the skin.
Now remove from the oven, lower the temperature to 150°C and add some white wine to the base of the roasting dish.
Roast for another 30 minutes per kilo, minus the first kilo. Baste your turkey in the buttery juices every 30 mins also to help keep it moist.
Check the juices run clear from the thick part of the bird and if done rest well now for at least 1hr under some tin foil.
Your Christmas turkey will now be beautifully roasted and rested and carve beautifully on the plate.
You cna also make a wonderful turkey gravy from some turkey stock and what is left of the pans juices.
