  5. You need to bake your turducken for approximately 40min per kilo. Your 4.5-5kg turducken will take approximately 3hours to roast.
  6. Remove your roast every 20 – 40mins and baste it with the cooking juices that are in the bottom of the baking tray.
  7. After 2 hours probe with your Meat Thermometer, or skewer to start testing for “doneness”.
  8. Remove the foil completely from your turducken for the final 40 mins to brown the breast.
  9. If unsure, your turducken is cooked when juices run clear after being pierced in the breast with a skewer.
  10. Allow your turducken to rest in a warm place for approximately 20 minutes before carving. This will ensure that the juices have settled and will make the meat very succulent.
  11. While your turducken is resting, strain the juices from the baking tray to make a rich accompanying gravy.

Here;s a simple recipe to help you roast your Turkey Breast to perfection. Using butter, herbs, salt, and pepper the end result is tender juicy meat and CRISPY skin, and all in just 90 minutes!

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
10 leaves fresh sage
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
1 turkey breast , 1.8 – 2.7kg, patted dry

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C fan forced. Set up oven so there is only the bottom rack. Add the turkey breast to a large roasting pan and pat dry with paper towels inside and out.

Mash the butter, herbs, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set 2-3 tablespoons aside for later.

Use the back of a spoon to lift the skin from the turkey breast and spread butter inside. Smooth the skin back down to spread the butter all over the breast. Be careful not to tear the skin as the butter will drip out when cooking.

Roast for 90 minutes, or until the innermost part of the breast is cooked to your liking, but at least 75 degrees C. Top with remaining butter and let rest for 20 minutes before serving.

Make sure your oven is set up with the racks arranged so the turkey will fit – If you are ordering a large turkey make sure your oven is big enough to roast it! Same applies if you are cooking it on a weber or other covered BBQ – make sure the turkey is not touching the cover when its closed – sounds obvious – but it happens!

Apart from that just follow the recipe and all will be good!

Ingredients

1 onion, quartered
fresh bay leaves, to flavour and serve
1 4.5-5.6kg turkey, giblets removed
1 quantity of stuffing (use your favourite stuffing recipe)
85g butter, softened
1 whole nutmeg
10 rashers streaky bacon
glass of red wine, such as Merlot

STEP 1

Heat oven to 170C (fan forced). Put the onion and a large sprig of bay in the cavity between of the turkey. Now pack half the stuffing into the neck end, pushing it towards the breast. Secure the neck skin in position with skewers and tie the turkey legs together at the top of the drumsticks to give a neat shape.

STEP 2

Weigh the turkey and calculate cooking time at 20 mins per kilo, plus 90 mins. (bathroom scales are good for this.)

STEP 3

Put a large sheet of extra-wide foil in a large roasting tin, then put the turkey on top. Smear the breast with the butter, grate over half the nutmeg and season well. Cover the breast with bacon, pour over the wine, then loosely bring up the foil and seal well to make a parcel.

STEP 4

Roast in the oven, then 90 mins before the end of cooking, open the foil, discard the bacon, and drain off excess fat from the tin. Leaving the foil open, return the turkey to the oven to brown, basting with the juices several times.

STEP 5

To test whether the turkey is cooked, push a skewer into the thickest part of the thigh – the juices should run clear. If they are pinkish, cook for 15 mins more, then test again.

STEP 6

Transfer the turkey to a platter, cover with foil, then a couple of tea towels and allow to rest for up to 30 mins before carving. This gives the juices time to settle back into the meat, ensuring that the turkey will be juicy. Garnish with bay and serve.
