How to cook your three bird roast & Rolled Turkey joint

Preheat your oven to   220˚C( fan200˚C) / Gas 7 (as on whole bird)

Place roast in a roasting pan, rub salt into the breast and cover with a layer of streaky bacon. Insert two metal roasting or barbeque skewers the length of the joint through the centre; this will help to conduct the heat to the middle of the bird to allow even cooking. Encase the three bird roast completely with tin foil, place in the preheated oven and roast for 30 minutes. Turn down to 190˚C( fan170˚C) / Gas 3 for 2.5 to 3.5 hours depending on the size;

Small roast - up to 4.5kg (10lbs) – total cooking 3 hours

Medium roast – 4.5-5.4kg (10-12lbs) – total cooking 3.5 hours

Large roast – over 5.4kg (12lbs) – total cooking 4 hours

 

Please do not overcook. Remove the tin foil for the last twenty minutes of the cooking time to allow the skin to become golden and crispy. The meat is cooked when a skewer is inserted and the juices run clear.

Allow the roast to rest in a warm place for at least 40 minutes before serving. This resting period is very important as it allows most of the juices which have bubbled up to the surface of the meat to seep back into it and the meat itself firms up to make it easier to carve. Some of these juices will escape though and these should be poured into the gravy.

To carve, place on a flat board and slice through, as you would a loaf of bread, using a sharp knife. Carve into thickish slices.
