Saline (dry brine)

Rinse the turkey in cold water, dab dry with kitchen roll. Place the orange zest, sugar, salt and pepper in a small bowl, mix. Season the turkey inside and out with the mixture, cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for approx. 24 hrs.

Herb butter

Place the butter, rosemary, sage and garlic in a bowl, mix well.

Turkey

Remove the turkey from the fridge approx. 30 mins. prior to cooking. Carefully loosen the skin of the turkey on the breast side, spread half of the herb butter underneath. Brush the remaining butter all over the turkey. Secure the opening with toothpicks. Tie the legs and wings with kitchen twine. Place on a baking rack (breast side up). Place the rack on a baking tray. Insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat.

Roast in the oven

Approx. 30 mins. on the bottom shelf of an oven preheated to 220 °C. Reduce the heat to 160 °C and roast for approx. 2¼ hrs, until the core temperature reaches approx. 80 °C. Remove from the oven, brush with orange marmalade, and leave to rest in the warm oven with the door open for approx. 15 mins. Remove the toothpicks and kitchen twine. Carve the turkey, arrange on a platter with orange, pomegranate, rosemary and sage.

Good to know
Note: The turkey is cooked when the juices run clear when pricked in the thigh.
Serve with: Cranberry sauce
