Method
Cooking a Boned and Rolled Turkey Buff Roast is simpler than you might think. Because the bird is already deboned and neatly rolled, it cooks evenly and stays moist throughout. Follow these steps for perfect results:
- Preheat your oven to 180 °C (fan-forced).
- In a bowl, mix butter, garlic, lemon zest, and rosemary. Gently loosen the skin of the turkey and spread half the butter mixture underneath. Rub the remaining butter over the top and season well.
- Place the rolled turkey in a roasting tray with thyme, stock, and wine. Cover loosely with foil and roast for 1 hour.
- Remove the foil and baste with pan juices. Continue roasting for another 45 minutes, basting twice, until golden brown.
- Check the centre reaches a safe internal temperature of 75 °C. Rest for 15 minutes before carving.
This turkey buff roast produces succulent meat and a crisp, golden finish. The gentle acidity of lemon balances the richness of the butter, creating a flavour profile that perfectly suits warm Australian summers.
For extra moisture, pour the resting juices back over the sliced turkey just before serving.
Butcher’s Tip
- For maximum tenderness, bring your Boned and Rolled Turkey Buff to room temperature 30 minutes before cooking.
- Always rest after roasting, it locks in juices and enhances flavour.
- Save the pan drippings to make a simple gravy with stock and a touch of white wine.
- If using a BBQ with a lid, maintain an indirect heat of 180 °C for the same results, a great option for outdoor Christmas lunches.
A premium Boned and Rolled Turkey Buff from Tender Gourmet Butchery means less preparation time, even cooking, and perfect carving every time.
