Turkey Breast Crown

Cashy it usually gives timings per pound and oven temperatures on the wrapping...or somewhere on the packaging.
I have a gas cooker so can only give gas temperatures.......I would say 25mins per pound at gas mark 5.......and an extra 25 mins on top.......check the turkey crown regularly......it can be considered cooked when the juices run clear.
Allow the cooked crown to 'rest' for 30 mins before carving(I would cover the cooked crown with tinfoil to keep the heat in...and in my house to deter the cats from stealing it)....while the crown is 'resting' make your gravy from the juices.

There Cashy! is that better?

the propper way to test if a turkey is ready is to stab the thick part of its leg and if teh juices run clear on teh leg then teh rest of teh turkey is ready but due to teh crown portions not having a leg that informatiuon is useless unless they start throwing a leg in as well lol

[Margaret Pilkington]

You are spot on there accyman....that information is useless!

I always get a full turkey cause i prefer the dark meat much tastier

Well, am nearly ready to go ... the turkey smells great, and that little gadget has pushed itself out (still love to know how it works though). Just waiting for the potatoes to crisp and brown.

Thanks Cashy for asking re. the cooking time, but they had worked it out for me on the packaging .. 2hr. 55mins ....

Got glass of champagne in me hand ... so cheers everyone !! xx
