Usk Vale Bronze Turkey

For customers wanting that something extra special for Christmas, why not try an Usk Vale Bronze Free Range Turkey. These Turkeys roam and forage on rolling Monmouthshire pastures from the age of six weeks.
This freedom to exercise gives the turkeys an enriched way of life which helps to develop and improve the quality of meat, giving it superb flavour and texture. These Free-Range Bronze Turkeys are individually boxed, with cooking guidelines and a ‘Pop-Rite’ cooking timer to ensure that this premium turkey has every opportunity to achieve its full potential.
We have sourced a supply of these great bronze Turkeys for this year.

Cooking tips

1. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
2. Smear butter all over the turkey and season with salt and pepper.
3. Put in a roasting tin, breast-side up, and roast for 40 mins per 1kg for the first 4kg, then 45 mins for every 1kg over that weight, or until a meat thermometer reaches 65C when inserted into the thickest part of the breast or 70C in the thickest part of the thigh. For a turkey of this weight, the cooking time should be about 3½ hrs but it could be less depending on the breed or whether the turkey has been dry-brined. Therefore we recommend starting taking its temperature after about the first 2½ hrs to make sure it doesn’t overcook. Note that while the turkey rests, it will continue to cook and the temperature will rise.
4. Remove the turkey from the oven and rest in a warm place for 30-45 mins – don’t skip this step as the juices won’t be reabsorbed back into the turkey and will run out if you carve it straightaway. Don’t cover the turkey too tightly if you want the skin to stay crisp, but keep it warm.
5. Before serving the turkey, check that the meat is steaming hot throughout, there is no pink meat visible and when you cut into the thickest part of the meat, the juices run clear.
