Free Range Bronze Turkey

Take your turkey out of the fridge about an hour before cooking so it can come up to room temperature.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (Fan 160°C) / Gas Mark 4.

Remove the giblets (if included) and weigh your bird once stuffed, if you’re using a stuffing inside.

Rub the skin all over with a little butter or olive oil, and season well with salt and pepper.

If you like, lay a few rashers of bacon across the breast to keep it lovely and moist as it cooks.

Cook your turkey for 40 minutes per kg, plus an extra 20 minutes at the end.

If your turkey is stuffed, base your timing on the total weight, including the stuffing.

Start with the bird breast-side up, loosely covered with foil so the skin doesn’t brown too quickly.

Remove the foil for the last 30–40 minutes to let the skin turn a lovely deep bronze.

Check it’s ready by sliding a skewer into the thickest part of the thigh — the juices should run clear, and the temperature should be 74°C in the thickest part of the meat.

Once cooked, let your turkey rest for 30–45 minutes before carving. This helps the juices settle, keeping the meat tender and full of flavour.
