Sainsbury's Medium Free Range Fresh British Norfolk Black Turkey Crown, Taste the Difference 2-2.99kg

Cooking instructions: Oven

Oven cook from chilled. If freezing at home, defrost thoroughly before cooking. 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: Baste the turkey with the cooking juices and rotate the tray every 30 minutes. Remove the foil 45 minutes before the end of the cooking time, 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 throughout, all juices run clear and no pink colour remains. Cover with foil and allow to rest for 30 minutes before carving. To carve, remove the whole breast in one piece and slice. All cooking appliances vary. This is a guide only. Oven cook from chilled 180°C / Fan 150°C / Gas 4 40 mins per kg + 60 mins
