Another year gone and another year of mwnch posting laziness…

But I have done one good thing for Mwnch in 2011 as I’ve discovered on the 23rd of December that the site had been hacked and the excellence of my method for cooking Turkey was not available to save you all from interminable long cooking times – so I fixed the site and the hot-quick-turkey cooking method can be found here.

Happy Christmas 2011…

Roast Turkey Cooking Times

April 28, 2008 at 6:25 pm · cooking times

From a wide variety of sources from Elizabeth David to an old Sunday Times cook book, I’ve adopted a fast then slow method of cooking meat.

To begin with, smear your turkey with butter then clothe in a layer of fatty bacon.

Then in an oven preheated to 220C / 425F / Gas 7, sear the turkey for 50 minutes.

Then baste the bird with the juices from the pan and cover with foil.

Return to the oven, with the heat reduced to 170C / 325F / Gas 3 for the amount of time as follows depending on the size of the turkey:

Weight kgs Weight lbs Time to cook
3.6 8 1.5 hours
4.5 10 1.75 hours
5.4 12 2 hours
6.3 14 2 hours + 20-30 minutes
7.2 16 2 hours + 30-40 minutes
8.1 18 2 hours + 40-50 minutes
9 20 3 hours

Baste every 20 to 30 minutes. The end result will be the tastiest, juiciest turkey!
