When you're ready, halve an apple, an onion and put in a container with a small amount of water and a cinamon stick, microwave on high for 5 minutes. Pat the turkey dry and place in a sheet pan, to the cavaty insert a handful of fresh sage and rosemary along with your apple, onion and cinamon stick. Brush the turkey with canola oil and put in a screaming hot oven, as high as it will go for 30 minutes. When that 30 minutes is up, tent the breast with foil and reduce the temp to 180. It should take around 2 - 2.5 hours depending on the size of your bird. You're looking for a temperature of 75 degrees at the thickest point in the breast. So check often.

Tent with foil and rest for 30 minutes before carving.


Never fails.

Dude I'll absolutely give that a try - Awesomeness!!! Now to catch up with my mate in Wharepapa who's got around 200 spare turkeys running around before the crickets get active...

Superb Angus and all the best to you my friend!!!
