  • 1kg rolled turkey breast or thigh

8.Roast for 40 minutes then brush with glaze and cook for another 20 minutes. Brush again with pan juices and cook for approx 10 minutes, or until done.
9.Allow the turkey roll to rest for at least 10 minutes, loosely covered with foil, before slicing to serve.
