Cooking Instructions

Oven

Instructions: 180ºC / Fan 150ºC / Gas 4. For calculated cooking time see front of pack. Oven cook from chilled only. Remove outer packaging. No need to wash poultry before cooking. If stuffing is required, it is recommended that this is cooked separately. Pre-heat oven. Place the crown in its foil tray, in a roasting tin, rub the skin of the crown with oil or butter (optional) and cover loosley with kitchen foil. Cook in the centre of a pre-heated oven. After 1 hour, remove kitchen foil, return the crown to the oven and continue cooking. Baste turkey crown occasionally during cooking process (typically 2-4 times depending on the size). Poultry is cooked if the juices run clear when the deepest part of the turkey breast is pierced with a thin skewer. If the juices are pink, continue cooking for 15 minutes and retest. Repeat every 15 minutes until the juices run clear. After cooking time, cover with kitchen foil and allow to rest in a warm place for 30 minutes before carving.

Microwave

Instructions: Not suitable for microwave cooking.

use by date 26th dec

2 stars

Taste was flavoursome and moist , Cant see how it could feed 11 people . The reason for two stars was because the use by date was the 26th December .

Really moist and tasty.

5 stars

Received on 23rd, cooked on 26th as per instructions. Tested it 10 mins before the end time and it was ready. Really moist and tasty. I've been buying frozen for the last several years, but this was definitely worth the extra money. Will buy again next year.

Not as Ordered

1 stars

I ordered a whole turkey on November 17th and got this - a third of the size instead. They were still advertising the whole turkeys for purchase instore as a lure to get people in. Con artists.

Awful

1 stars

Dreadful. Worst turkey crown we've ever had. Arrived and was really small. Had legs! And was hollow. Shocking

Don’t buy this

1 stars

Ordered a feed 8 - 11 size crown but received a feed up to 6 people. Could have been mistake from person picking my order. The crown once cooked appeared to have spaces in the breast meat with white residue in them and the texture is nothing like any turkey I have ever cooked. I assume this is where water was injected to increase the weight. If all that isn’t bad enough, it doesn’t taste like turkey, I am sure it’s chicken. So all in all, I am sorry I didn’t pay attention to previous reviews.

Great value turkey, very tasty and moist

5 stars

Excellent fresh turkey used on Boxing Day. Followed the instructions and the turkey was very tasty and beautifully moist. One of the best turkey’s I’ve had and not at all pricey compared to some other retailers. I will definitely be ordering one of these again. Everyone commented.

Won't buy again
