A stunning centrepiece for your Christmas dinner! To ensure you cook your turkey breast to perfection, here are four tips from Nick:

  • Let the turkey reach room temperature before roasting
  • Cook the turkey to temperature, not time
  • Massage the turkey in fat and season with salt and pepper
  • Let the turkey rest for at least 20 minutes before carving




    •  1 free-range turkey breast
     Salt and pepper
     Goose fat
     Meat temperature probe
    1

    Remove the turkey breast from the fridge at least an hour before roasting to ensure it reaches room temperature.

    2

    Place the turkey breast on a roasting tray with the rack lifting it off the base.

    3

    Preheat the oven to 220°C. Meanwhile, massage the turkey breast in the goose fat and season with the salt and pepper.

    4

    Place the meat temperature probe into the middle of the turkey breast.

    5

    Place the turkey breast in the oven and roast for 10 minutes at 220°C. Then, drop the temperature to 170°C and cook the turkey breast until the temperature on the meat temperature probe reads 77°C.

    6

    Let the turkey breast rest for 20+ minutes before carving.

    7

    Carve and enjoy your succulent, moist turkey breast, taking time to soak in the praise of your guests. Hopefully they brought the wine!
