Airfryer Turkey Crown

Step 1

Remove the turkey crown from the fridge 1 hour before cooking to bring it to room temperature.

Step 2

Pat the crown dry with kitchen roll to remove moisture from the skin.

Step 3

Mix the oil, oregano, paprika and garlic powder together in a small bowl.

Step 4

Use a pastry brush to brush this oil mixture all over the turkey crown.

Step 5

Turn the crown over and use the remainder on the legs.

Step 6

Cut the clementine in two and add this to the cavity of the bird.

Step 7

Peel the garlic cloves, crush them slightly with a knife and add them too along with the fresh herbs.

Step 8

Place the turkey crown in the airfryer upside down.

Step 9

Cook at 180c for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Stop the airfryer and use two forks to turn the crown the right way round.

Step 11

Cook for a further 30 minutes.

Step 12

About 15-20 minutes into this second half of cooking check the crown to see if the skin has browned. You can add a layer of tin foil to the top at this point to stop it over-browning for the remainder of the time.

Step 13

Check the temperature of the meat by sticking a meat thermometer into the thickest part. The temperature should be 72 degrees celsius for at least 2 minutes. Check several parts of the bird to ensure it is adequately cooked.

Step 14

If it hasn't reached the correct temperature then continue to cook at 5-6 minute intervals.

Step 15

Allow the turkey crown to rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.
