At F.X. Buckley, we source Turkey's from Carlow Free Range Farms. Hand reared by Bertram and Celine Salter on their farm in Fenagh, Co. Carlow. Their turkey's have an incredible natural flavour and been reared to the highest standard.
Weights ranging from 5 kg - 12 kg.
Here’s our basic cooking guide for your FX Buckley Christmas turkey.
*Please keep in mind that these guidelines are approximate. We highly recommend using a digital meat thermometer to ensure your poultry reaches an internal temperature of 75ºC (165ºF). This not only guarantees food safety but also helps prevent overcooking, ensuring your turkey remains juicy and flavourful.
- Pre-Heat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 200°C and allow it to preheat for at least 40 mins.
- Seasoning: While your oven is preheating, place your Turkey on a wire rack over your roasting tin. Season the whole bird generously with salt and ground black pepper.
- More Flavour: Stuff the turkey with 8 crushed garlic cloves, 3 lemons halved, and a mixture of woody herbs like rosemary, thyme, and sage. Drizzle the whole turkey with olive oil.
- Roasting: Reduce the oven temperature to 170ºC. Transfer the turkey to your preheated oven. Roast it according to the recommended cooking times based on its weight, as outlined below. This will help ensure that your turkey is perfectly cooked and deliciously tender.
- Resting: This is a crucial step! Once the turkey is cooked, carefully remove it from the oven, cover it with multiple layers of tin foil and allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes. This resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavourful turkey. After resting, carve the turkey and serve it immediately for the best experience!
