We brine the turkeys overnight in a salt and sugar solution flavoured with oranges, lemons, herbs and spices - it transforms what can sometimes be a dry bird into juicy deliciousness. Once you have tried one, we promise you will never look back. The result is a turkey of magnificent succulence and flavour, with a gorgeously burnished skin, and much more forgiving of temperature abuse than an unbrined bird.

Fresh product, not suitable for freezing.
PLEASE NOTE: This product contains raw turkey and should be fully cooked before consumption.
Remove the turkey from the fridge a good hour before cooking then remove from bag. Pat dry inside and out and preheat the oven to 180°C. Roast for 1 hour 15 min to 1 hour 45 min, basting with its own juices every half hour. If you have a meat thermometer, the turkey is done when its thigh temperature reaches 75°C. If not, check that its juices run clear. Don't be surprised if it cooks in as little as one and a half hours.
Remove the turkey from the oven, flip upside down on a platter so that the juices run back into the breast, wrap in a double layer of foil and leave to rest. It will retain its heat for a good hour, so you can crank the heat up again to roast potatoes or another veg while it’s waiting.
