Before Cooking:
Leave the turkey out of the fridge to temper for one hour before cooking. Refer to the weight label on the front of the bag for the specific roasting time. Preheat oven. Remove all packaging except the foil tray. Place the turkey in a deep sided ovenproof roasting tin. Measure out 250ml of water (chicken or turkey stock can be used instead) and pour into the roasting tin around the turkey. Rub oil or melted butter all over the skin and season with salt and pepper (optional). Cover the turkey with foil and place in the centre of the preheated oven..
During Cooking:
Spoon the juices in the bottom of the roasting tin over the bird to baste every 30 minutes, rotate the tray and return to the oven. Remove the foil for the final 45 minutes before the end of cooking, baste and return to the oven to allow the skin to become golden brown.
After Cooking:
Once cooked, remove the turkey crown from the oven, check food is piping hot, and no pink colour remains. Cover with foil and allow
to rest for 30 mins before carving. To carve, remove the whole breast in one piece and slice.
