Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Take the joint out of the fridge 20 minutes before you want to start cooking.
  2. Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan assisted 200°C/430ºF.
  3. Put the turkey joint, skin-side up, into a roasting tin and pour 2 cups of boiling water around it
  4. Spread the butter over the skin and season (Unless you have a brined/marinated roll).
  5. Cover the roasting tin with foil, ensuring it is well sealed around the edges.
  6. Place in the oven for 20 minutes.
  7. Reduce the temperate by 20º (so down to 200°C/fan assisted 180°C/ 410ºF) and roast for a further 50 minutes.
  8. After this time remove the foil, drape the bacon over the roast and cook for a further 20 minutes.

Notes

  • Weigh your turkey joint and then cook for 15 minutes per 450g/1lb, plus an extra 25 minutes.
