Method

  • Step 1

    Carefully lift up skin of turkey crown to loosen and smear two thirds of butter under skin and the remainder on top. Place a few sprigs of thyme under skin. Season crown with salt and pepper. Arrange pancetta slices on top, securing with a cocktail stick.

  • Step 2

    In a bowl, place the prepared vegetables with oil, toss and season to taste.

  • Step 3

    Insert the crisper plates into both drawers. Place the turkey pancetta side down in Zone 1 drawer. Select Zone 1, turn the dial to select ROAST, set temperature to 190°C and set time to 40 minutes. Select Zone 2, turn the dial to select AIR FRY, set temperature to 190°C and set time to 35 minutes. Select SYNC. Press the dial to begin cooking.

  • Step 4

    After 25 minutes, turn turkey crown over. Add stuffing balls and pigs in blankets around turkey and re-set temperature to 160°C. Add rosemary to vegetables in Zone 2 drawer and give them a shake or turn. Insert drawers to begin cooking.

  • Step 5

    Check and turn the vegetables again a couple of times before the cooking time is up so they cook and brown more evenly. Cooking is complete when turkey reaches 75°C. Let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with trimmings and vegetables.
