This is honestly my go to recipe when I want something that looks impressive but doesn't require hours in the kitchen. A turkey crown is such a smart choice because you get all that lovely white meat without having to wrestle with a whole bird, and it cooks in just 90 minutes. The magic happens when you brush it with this simple honey and mustard glaze spiked with warming spices that give it an almost festive feel. I love that honey isn't just delicious here, it's also packed with antioxidants and has natural antibacterial properties, so you're getting something genuinely good for you. With only 10 minutes of prep and ingredients you probably already have, this feels like a special dinner without the special effort.

Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Smear the butter all over the turkey crown and season all over with salt and half the five spice. Put in a roasting tin, skin-side up, and roast for 30 mins. While the crown is roasting, mix all the glaze ingredients in a bowl with the rest of the five spice.

Remove the crown from the oven and brush the skin generously with half the glaze. Continue to roast for another hour, glazing twice more, until cooked all the way through and the glaze is sticky and caramelised. Leave to rest for at least 20 mins before carving. Save the juices from the tin to make gravy.
