Colman’s and Knorr have been working with half-American blogger Lela London to discover how food trends influence our cooking and the way we eat today. Below you’ll find Lela London’s easiest Christmas turkey ever so you have more time to spend with your loved ones on the big day.
Ingredients (serves 6 to 8)
2 Knorr Garden Herb Flavour Pots
1 large (1.5 to 1.8kg) boned and rolled turkey breast (order from your butcher)
1 head of garlic, halved
1 medium onion, sliced into 4 wedges
1 lemon, cut into wedges
5 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Colman’s Cranberry Sauce, to serve
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6.
Rub one Knorr Garden Herb Flavour Pot all over the turkey joint. Place in a large roasting tin or casserole dish. Add the garlic, onion and lemon, and then pour in 500ml water. Season. Cover with foil and roast for an hour.
Reduce the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4.
Mix the second Knorr Garden Herb Flavour Pots with 150ml water. Pour around the turkey. Bundle the herbs together and tuck around the turkey breast.
Cover loosely and roast for another 60 to 90 minutes.
Test that the turkey is cooked thoroughly by inserting a skewer into the middle – the juices should run clear. If there are traces of pink, cook for longer.
Cover the turkey with foil and allow it to rest for 30 minutes before carving. Serve with fresh vegetables and Colman’s Cranberry Sauce.
