A turkey crown is the body of the bird with the legs and wings removed leaving the white breast meat attached to the bones. Wrap it so that the join is at the top of the bird so that you can easily open it up for the second half of the cooking for browning. As such it s an ideal joint for smaller gatherings for those who prefer white meat over brown meat and for those who don t want lots of leftovers particularly at christmas. So instead of cooking turkey upside down stick to roasting right side up for the most beautiful bird.
