“Hi Nagi, Making this later today and can’t wait! I was unable to get bone-in turkey breast last minute yesterday (whoops!) but have a 2.4 kg turkey breast from the butchers (labelled as ‘turkey breast roll,’ I assume due to the way it’s wrapped?) Two questions” — a cook
“Hi Nagi, Loved your recipe. I, too, am a big fan of compound butter, and usually make a big batch, roll it up in freezer paper in rolls and freeze it, till ready for recipes. Also loved your meat thermometer and will scan Ebay to see if it is still available. ” — a cook, 5★
