Best way to cook a turkey (crown)

[IndigoIsMyFavouriteColour]

As title really! Please give me your best recipes for turkey. We don’t usually do a turkey but we are this year. Have bought a small turkey crown and looking for ideas.

We’ve used this method for a while and pretty pleased with the outcome https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/recipes/articles/how-to-roast-a-turkey-crown-with-a-bacon-lattice

I like to dry brine turkey for 24hrs and use a herby compound butter under the breast skin, wrap in thick butchers streaky bacon and roast slowly on a rack above the potatoes.

Thank you, I will suggest this to husband who is doing the cooking!

Brine is just salty water yes? I think this is what he has in mind but we haven’t considered putting bacon on top and it’s been suggested twice now so we will do this.

Dry brine is just placing the crown on a racked tray and covering it with salt and other herbs and spices open air in the fridge, it imparts flavour and creates a superior texture to the meat, helps keep it juicy as well so long as you don't over cook it. The bacon basically acts as a baster due to the fat.

Oh dry brine, I didn't read that bit properly. I think this is what we will do, thanks for the suggestion.
