Morning, good wishes to all.

This year I will be doing a turkey crown, rather than a whole bird.

I usually stuff it, butter it and cover the breast and thighs with bacon, wrap in foil etc.

Bit worried that it might be dry, so toying with the idea of turning it upside down and putting some stuffing in the "dip" iykwim, then bacon on top, foil and actually cooking it upside down.

The thinking is that the juices from the stuffing will go down into the meat and moisten it.

Well, that's the theory grin!

Any thoughts?

TIA!

We don't eat turkey - roast beef for us. Can you get a roast beef crown? (just kidding)

I love the dark meat, along with the crispy skin - best bits.

I have never had a dry turkey that I remember. I do now cook it upside down and then turn it over, but I only started doing that a few years ago and that was more to do with getting the dark meat deep in the turkey legs fully cooked. I had nearly 50 years of just buttering the breast and bunging it in the oven , sometimes with foil and sometimes without, without any problems.
