A turkey crown is the term used for the turkey breast portion of the bird, including both breasts and the upper part of the wings, with the legs and thighs removed. It’s essentially a boneless turkey breast with the skin left on, making it easier to cook and carve. This cut is ideal for smaller gatherings or as a centrepiece for a more manageable roast compared to a whole turkey. The turkey crown offers all the juicy, tender meat of a traditional roast turkey without the complexity of cooking the entire bird.

To make Mob’s turkey crown healthier, consider reducing the amount of butter or oil used in the recipe. Instead, use a light coating of olive oil or a cooking spray to keep the turkey moist. Substitute cream or full-fat dairy products with low-fat versions or unsweetened plant-based alternatives. You can also enhance flavour with fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme or add a zesty kick with lemon juice. Incorporating vegetables, such as carrots and onions, into the roasting pan will not only infuse the turkey crown with flavour but also increase the nutritional value of the dish.

Yes, you can prepare a turkey crown ahead of time. You can season and brine the turkey crown up to 24 hours before cooking to enhance its flavour and juiciness. After cooking, let the turkey cool completely before storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cooked turkey crown for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the oven to ensure it remains juicy and flavourful.

A cooked turkey crown can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Ensure it is stored in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in foil to maintain freshness. For longer storage, you can freeze the cooked turkey crown for up to 3 months. Wrap it well in plastic wrap and then in aluminium foil or place it in a freezer-safe bag to prevent freezer burn. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

To determine if your turkey crown is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The thickest part of the turkey crown, typically the centre of the breast, should reach at least 74°C. Ensure you insert the thermometer into the meat, not touching the bone, as this could give an inaccurate reading. Additionally, the juices should run clear and not be pink when the meat is pierced.

To prevent your turkey crown from burning on top, cover it with aluminium foil during the initial part of roasting. This will protect the skin from direct heat and prevent it from becoming too dark too quickly. Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the skin to crisp up and turn golden brown. If the top starts to brown too fast, you can also reduce the oven temperature slightly to ensure even cooking.

To keep your turkey crown from drying out, ensure it is well-basted throughout the cooking process. Basting with its own juices or a mixture of broth and melted butter will keep the meat moist. Additionally, consider using a roasting pan with a lid or covering the turkey crown with foil. Cooking the turkey crown at a lower temperature and ensuring it is not overcooked will also help maintain its juiciness.

Basting a turkey crown while cooking is not strictly necessary, but it helps to keep the meat moist and flavourful. Basting involves spooning or brushing the turkey with its own juices or a mixture of broth and melted butter. This helps to prevent the surface from drying out and adds additional flavour. If you prefer, you can baste the turkey crown every 30 minutes during the cooking process to enhance its moisture and taste.

To achieve crispy skin on your turkey crown, ensure the skin is thoroughly dried before cooking. Pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps the skin crisp up better. Rub a small amount of olive oil or melted butter over the skin and season it generously with salt. During the last 30 minutes of roasting, increase the oven temperature to 200°C or switch to the broiler to help the skin crisp up. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
