Turkey Crown on the Bone

Christmas Turkey

£120.00

The turkey crown has it's legs and wings removed to give you a joint of white breast meat on the bone. Ideal for a quicker roast and easy to carve, our succulent turkey crowns are perfect for a no fuss Christmas feast.

Our turkey farmers use traditional free-range farming methods to slowly rear these exceptional birds, feeding them on a natural, hormone-free diet. The birds are dry plucked and hung for a minimum of 10 days.

You can place the crown on a layer of stuffing or rub some butter beneath the skin. Or wrap the crown in bacon strips or herbs and butter before cooking. Just remember, if you're using stuffing, factor its weight into your cooking time calculation.

Please allow approximately 400-500g per person. 

Please note: this product is only available for delivery & collection between 5th-24th December.

To roast the crown, preheat the oven to 220°C / Gas mark 7, place it on a wire rack above a roasting tray and spread softened butter all over the surface of the turkey. Roast for 25 minutes, basting after 10 minutes, until the skin is beautifully caramelised and a deep golden brown. Reduce the temperature of the oven to 170°C / Gas mark 3 and cook for a further 1 ½ hours, opening the oven every 30 minutes to baste the turkey. The temperature of the turkey should reach 72°C / 162°F. You can check this with a Temperature Probe by inserting the probe into the thickest part of the breast. Alternatively you can insert a skewer and check if the juices run clear. If the juices are pink continue cooking for 10 minutes and check again. Repeat this process until the bird is cooked. Once cooked, rest the turkey for at least 30 minutes before carving.

Christmas Turkey:
Our Bronze Turkeys are from Goodman's Geese farm in Worcestershire, an award winning family run business. The birds are reared for 24 weeks, using an outdoor free range farming system and their diet consists of natural foods such as grass, corn and straw - all hormone and additive free! Closer to Christmas, the Turkeys are fed a special ration to help them grow slowly and enhance the flavours of your Christmas centrepiece. All Turkeys are dry plucked by hand and hung for 10 days. 

Thanksgiving Turkey:
Appledore Turkeys, based in Kent, have been family-run since 1940, producing premium free-range turkeys with a focus on welfare and sustainability. From the moment the chicks arrive at the farm, they are raised on a natural diet free from additives, drugs, and growth promoters. The birds enjoy roaming grassy paddocks by day and are housed in naturally lit, well-ventilated barns at night, bedded on homegrown wheat straw. Allowed to grow slowly to full maturity, Appledore turkeys are renowned for their exceptional flavor and texture, making them a standout choice for a traditional and truly special festive meal.
