Got a 3kg Turkey Crown... how's a good way to cook it in the oven and keep it moist?


anyone got some tried and tested tips?

Tom Kerridge's method of a trivet over a roasting pan of water, foiled, works well.

Give it to the wife - since she will be in the kitchen anyway

Good Luck

this.........

why crowd the kitchen up when your job is to look after the booze/tv/chocolates etc

Buy a decent quality chkcken, like anyone else

Use a roasting bag Phil, Skin side down will keep it moist. Personally I wouldn't buy a crown as it's too lean, you need a bit of fat for cooking, flavour etc.

I think last time we used a roasting bag with good results. Not sure as I'm not into cooking Turkeys.


If it were down to me I'd have a pork roast with lots of crackling.

This is what I'm doing tomorrow. We're doing meat on rotation every year now. Beef last year, rolled shoulder of Pork this year. We'll probably get back on the Turkey next year........

I wanted to cook a large rib of beef for Xmas dinner but wife and kids insisted on bloody turkey. Got a loin of pork a well to go with it as well though.

3lb crown here with bacon and things stuffed under the skin with a bacon weave. Literally rashers of bacon weaved together and placed on top. It's meant to help keep it moist and it did. It turned out a treat.

7.2lb local duck stuffed with oranges, Rosemary and garlic. The fat made an incredible rich tasty gravy.

A pork joint with salt rubbed in to get the crackling really crispy.... The whole meal went down a storm. Everyone's favourite seemed to be the duck.

Good job people

I just went for Morrisons decent chicken on account being reduced to less per kg than any turkey.

Couldn't be bothered with anything more adventurous, just me a a friend this year
