We will be supporting our Local Turkey & pork farmers as they have lost nearly all trade during shut down. Most Turkey meat goes to the catering trade throughout the year. Now with only parties of six and limited catering trade, we face even more uncertain times! This would normally be a very busy and financially important time of year for all of us.

Check that your Turkey is cooked by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the breast and if the juices run clear the Turkey is cooked if the juices are pink continue cooking and check at 10 minute intervals allow to stand for at least 20 minutes before carving.

How long does it take to cook a 3kg turkey roll?

Cover breast roll with butter and bacon, add a cup full of water in pan cover with tin foil to save drying out, remove for last 20 mins to brown off. Keep basting if prefered.

Cooking times will vary according to the weight of your Turkey or Turkey joint, but as a guide it is a good idea to allow 25 minutes per Kg, plus 70 minutes if the bird or joint is under 4Kg, or plus 90 minutes if it is over 4Kg, at a cooking temperature of 190°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.

Turkey Ballantine £14.95kg

This is a whole boned free range Turkey with only the Drumsticks not boned. We then bone a free range duckling which has a cranberry and orange stuffing inside along with 4 free range pheasant breasts. The pork Sausage meat and the stuffed duck are then placed between the breast crown of the turkey and trussed to still look an oven ready Turkey. These are not small but generally if we start with a 6kg Turkey the finished boned weight is 6.5-7kg This is the smallest we can do.

COOKING is recommended the day before in a deep roasting dish at a temp of 150 gas mark 3 covered in tin foil with an added half cup of stock or water. The duck will slowly cook inside the turkey basting from the inside. Cook for approx. 5-6 hours. Then remove Tin Foil for the last 30 minutes and Keep Basting. You will end up with a fantastic stock, which when set you will be able to skim the fat of and use to crisp your roast potatoes the next day. When you have removed the bird from the oven cover in tin foil to cool, place in fridge overnight. The Cold Ballantine with all inside birds and stuffing’s will set and are much easier to carve in complete slices. Once sliced you can reheat in the gravy made from the stock or simply place on plates and cover with cling film and put in microwave for succulent moist Turkey
