2.5 kg
The thing is it is turkey crown that you cook in a bag and I have never come across this before, the instructions say to cook for 2 and a half hours on 140 degrees fan oven (which ill be using) To me this temperature seems too low and the time seems too long! I would typically do a 2.5kg crown for 2 hours on 160-180 fan. What do you think? Maybe the temp is low because it is in a bag and thus gets hotter I dont know someone please help!
If you test it with a skewer and the juices run clear it won't make you ill. Good luck
Turkey temp when cooked should be over 70c, preferably nearer 75c before resting.
What temperature do you cook it in the bag on? I am weary about doing it on 140 sounds too low to me or is it a low temp because the bag also steams the turkey?

Don't forget to time it to come out the oven at least an hour before dinner. This will give it time to rest, and for you to whack the heat up for the roasties - they will need a high heat
