Download instructions here: Turkey fillet roll or turducken

Ingredients

Turkey Fillet Roll / Turducken
1-2 litres turkey stock

—
2 tbs olive oil
30 g butter (melted)
1 clove garlic (chopped)
3 sprigs thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
—
500 ml turkey gravy
250 ml cranberry sauce

Cook time

1.0kg – 1 hour
1.5kg – 1 hour 20 minutes
2.0kg – 1 hour 40 minutes
2.5kg – 2 hours
3.0kg – 2 hours 20 minute

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 180°C. Pat your fresh free range Numurkah turkey dry with kitchen paper.
  2. Add one of our fresh stuffings to turkey cavity, packed loosely.
  3. Transfer turkey to a deep baking tray and massage with a simple marinade of olive oil, butter, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper.
  4. Add turkey stock to your baking tray. This will keep the turkey moist and succulent, and assist with basting during cooking.
  5. Loosely cover with foil. Place in pre-heated oven and roast for recommended duration.
  6. Remove turkey every 20-40 minutes and baste with cooking juices. Remove the foil completely from your turkey for the final 40 minutes to brown the breast.
  7. Let the turkey rest in a warm place for approximately 15 minutes before carving. This will ensure that the juices have settled and will make the meat very succulent.
  8. To prepare gravy, strain the juices from the baking tray to remove any garlic and thyme. Place 1 cup of baking juices in a saucepan along with our homemade turkey gravy. Bring to the boil then simmer for 5 minutes to thicken.
  9. Serve alongside our homemade cranberry sauce.
