Turkey Tips

17.8K Posts
Last year had a big success with a Turkey Crown cooked in a bag. Don't mock. Jamie and Nigella both champion cooking the bird in a foil sealed wrap. The idea is that the bird must stay moist. And it did, the amount of liquid the bird was sitting in at the end was amazing.
So last year , I bought the crown in a bag, just stick the whole lot into the preheated oven and leave it alone.
But can't find the bird this year in any of the pamphlets from the major stores. It must have come from either JS/Tesco/M&S / Waitrose.
The crown was expensive , but worth it.
Has anyone seen the idea advertised?

And now the final frame
Love is a losing game
I just tried it last year and it was such a success. Not normally a fan of Turkey. My only problem as posted was the VAST amount of liquid involved.
Will stab the bag over the sink before any other action after cooking.
I would buy your turkey wherever you get a bargain and buy the bag separately, they're not that dear.
Buying a turkey already in the bag is likely going to be more expensive.

100% paid off :j
Not looking for a bargain come xmas lunch, last years could easily have been an expensive crown from Waitrose/ M&S, I just would like the same success.
I normally cook for between 12 to 14 adults , so while I have to have the Turkey , I also can cook a crown of lamb or piece of Pork. Which reminds me that the pork joint had a french name.
Tip to you all. if you have a success, make sure you take notes.
Can I ask anyone who is shopping at asda to check it out, not a store near me, but would be willing to make a journey.
I want to cook two turkey crowns christmas morning. Can I cook both in oven at sane time for the time it takes to cook one? Same shelf in oven? I have a single oven
Thanks!
This is for chickens... But I guess the answer is yes.
