Hi All,
Im cooking a turkey crown this year but have never done it before.
Could anyone give me any advice on timings, juciness etc!?
It weighs 2.175 Im not stuffing it, but I would like to do the smokey bacon on top.

hi ebaybaby,
its my first year cooking a crown too. its says on mine 20mins per 500g + extra 20mins at gas 5, 150c or 375f. so being 2.175kg that'll be about 1hr 40 and 2hrs depending on when the juices run clear.

hope this helps

I always cook mine the 'Phil Vickery' way from This Morning. It's always really juicy and moist!

Thanks ladies! Medusasmummy, are you smearing yours with butter??!!!!!!! Would you do that under the bacon!?
Oh god, maybe beans and sausages will be easier :-) x

yeah i took my inspriation from delia. she smears hers in butter tops with bacon rashers. cooks wrapped in foil, making the foil into a tent to give the heat room to circulate.
