Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 190C/170C with convection/gas 5. Rub butter all over the turkey crown and season with salt and half of the five-spice blend. Place it in a roasting pan skin side up and roast for 30 minutes. While the crown is roasting, mix all glaze ingredients in a bowl with the remaining five-spice blend.

2. 2

   Remove the crown from the oven and generously brush the skin with half of the glaze. Continue roasting for another hour, basting twice more with the glaze, until the meat is fully cooked and the glaze is sticky and caramelised. Let rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. Reserve the pan juices to make a gravy.
