Boneless Turkey Crown
Cooking Method : Using Henderson Roasting kit
1. Remove the turkey from the vacuum packaging
2. Season the turkey with salt, pepper and any spices of your choice.
3. Baste the entire turkey with butter or olive oil (both skin and underside)
4. Place turkey on aluminium baking tray provided with skin side up.
5. Layer streaky bacon to skin side of the turkey (not essential)
6. Insert any fruits of your choice inside the tray (example half orange or lemon)
7. Add approx 150ml of water to the base of the tray.
8. Insert the tray into the roasting bag provided.
9. Tie the open end of the bag securely with the string provided. Tie the bag near the neck allowing room for expansion throughout the cooking process.
10. Place the turkey in the oven and set at 180°C: 350°F: Gas mark 4. Roast for the times indicated below (*Note for fan assisted oven reduce time by 10 minutes
11. For a crispy skin and golden finish cut open the top of the bag for last 10 minutes of the cooking time.
12. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving.
(Alternatively allow the turkey to cool completely ideally in a cool place before chilling overnight. The joint can then be carved cold and the slices layered onto a baking tray and re-heated. Reheating the slices and covering with the gelatine from the cooking bag gives a good result)
