Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Dissolve half the cornflour in a jug with 50ml cold water (25ml for 1 person) then add the stock cube, vinegar and top up with 150ml hot water (75ml for 1 person).
  2. Cut the potatoes into 3cm chunks (peel optional). Quarter the carrots and parsnip lengthways (peel optional). Finely chop or crush the garlic. Strip the thyme and rosemary leaves from their stalks and finely chop. Set aside a pinch of both herbs for the gravy.
  3. Place the turkey, prepped veg and herbs on a lined baking tray. Toss with 1/2 tbsp oil, the remaining cornflour, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 40 mins, until the veg is soft and the turkey is cooked through. Halve the sprouts and add to the baking tray for the last 15 mins of cooking.
  4. Check your turkey is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear. Cook for longer if necessary. Leave to rest, before slicing into each breast into 4 pieces.
  5. Meanwhile, make the gravy; heat a medium saucepan with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the remaining herbs to the pan and cook for 1 min. Add the stock mixture, bring to a boil, then simmer for 2-3 mins, until thickened.
  6. Serve the turkey with roasted veg and gravy. Garnish with a spoonful of cranberry relish.
