STUFFING

BASTE

GLAZE

Make the stuffing by mixing together the softened cream cheese, grated carrot, parsnip, breadcrumbs, chopped ginger, orange rind and crushed coriander seeds. The combination of grated carrot and parsnip gives this stuffing a better colour, as carrot can be quite intense in colour when cooked. Mix well until the stuffing blends together.

To stuff the turkey breast, loosen the skin gently from the turkey but keep it intact around the edges. Pack the stuffing down well under the skin.

Bring the skin back into position. Secure carefully with skewers and transfer to a foil lined dish then pour oil over the cleaned skin.

To give the turkey a golden glaze, brush with orange juice and brown sugar bubbled together until thick and syrupy.

Cook in the oven at gas mark 5/190C/375F for half an hour, then reduce temperature to gas mark 3/160C/325F for approximately 1½ hours.
