If your Turkey Crown is frozen
One to two days before, defrost the Turkey Crown in the fridge for the time stated in the packaging or at least 24-48 hours as they can take a while depending on size.
2.2 kg Turkey Crown
Pressure Cooking
Add the water to the inner pot and stir in the vegetable stock paste, Italian seasoning, bay leaves, cloves, peppercorns and porcini.
500 ml water, 1 tablespoon vegetable stock paste, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning or mixed herbs, 2-3 bay leaves, 5 cloves, 8-10 peppercorns, 5 g porcini
Place the trivet in place or (optional) create a trivet with onion, carrots and garlic cloves to lift up the turkey off the bottom of the pot. Bear in mind though, that it is handy to use a trivet with handles to get your Turkey Crown in and out, you could still place one on top of the vegetables.
1 onion, 2-3 carrots, 4 garlic cloves
Place the defrosted Turkey Crown on the vegetable trivet. Season it with salt and black pepper.
Make sure the sealing ring is in place properly. Lock the lid in. Steam release set to Sealing.
Programme the Pressure Cooking time, on high pressure, according to the chart: 1.9 kg - 37 minutes, 2 kg - 39 minutes, 2.1 kg - 40 minutes, 2.2 kg - 42 minutes and so on, just increase and decrease in 2 minute increments per 100 grams, so 1.8kg would be 35 minutes and 2.3kg would be 44 minutes).
Do a natural pressure release, ie. let the float valve pop back down of its own accord. Feel free to get on with your Christmas Day madness and let it be on Keep Warm. For a 2.2 kg Turkey Crown the float valve tends to drop down around the 20 minute mark.
Remove the Turkey Crown, hold on to the trivet handles for this. Don’t remove it from the trivet just yet.
Reserve the liquid, don’t discard it.
Air Fryer Lid
Cover the Turkey Crown with the bacon slices, if using.
Give the inner pot a quick clean and dry then place back in the base.
Place the trivet with the turkey crown covered in bacon back in the inner pot.
12 rashers streaky bacon
Place the air fryer lid on the cooker.
Press Grill, 232ºC / 450F. Start with 10 minutes at maximum temperature. In the Duo Crisp, press Broil or Grill and set at 204ºC / 400F and in the Ninja Foodi press Air Crisp at 205ºC / 400F. Basically, use the maximum temperature in yours.
Oven
You can, of course, also crisp it up in a very hot oven. And take it out once the bacon is to your taste but don’t overdo the time.
