Roast Turkey Crown with lemon and thyme
Roast Turkey with lemon and thyme
Ingredients
4 – 4 ½ kg turkey crown
1 bulb garlic, cut in half
1 lemon, cut in half small bunch of thyme
2 bay leaves
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
Remove and discard giblets and excess fat, wash turkey under cold water and pat dry.
Place the garlic, lemon, thyme and bay leaves inside the cavity of the bird and rub the skin with the olive oil, season the skin with cavity well with salt and freshly ground black pepper
Set temperature to 220°C and put the turkey onto the low wire rack.
Cook for one hour, using the tongs turn the bird so that the other end of the breast is uppermost.
Turn the temperature down to 170 °C and cook for a further 30 to 45 minutes or until the juices run clear when you insert a skewer into the base of the breast.
When cooked, removed the turkey from the Halogen Oven onto a warm plate. Cover the turkey in foil and leave to rest for 10 to 15 minutes

Thanks for telling me how to cook turkey crown in halogen oven as never cooked one before so was unsure of times and temps.
This is my second Halogen oven. Had one perhaps about 20-25 years ago,loved it but unfotunately after about 5 years use, broke the glass lid and was never able to replace as they had gone off the market. I think microwaves had just come in then. Merry Christmas.
glad to see turkey crown recipe as I wasn’t sure either about times and temps. Never had a halogen oven before and now wouldn’t be without it.
Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year
A bit confused,a turkey crown does not have giblets or a cavity however I will try the recipe and see how it comes out
Thanks for the tip.Would try it this Christmas.
Hi Mike, Glad you’re confused ! I thought I was the only one! Why are these recipes so wierd.? maybe we should write a recipe book thats less confusing and actually delivers a recipe that has been tried and tested, rather than one thats simply in the ballpark !!!
great ! i did not know how to do i turkey as i have only had my oven 4 days.Could someone tell me if i can cook on the bottom of the glass dish thankyou
Im happy for you to send us recipes, to put in a book.
Or recipes aint perfect, also it depends on what oven you have
