Turkey recommendations

Thanks Chas, that’s useful to hear. Marmaris is coming up a lot on the searches and I was reluctant as know nowt about it…. this post will have us looking closer now

 

Bit early for Xmas but:


Ingredients

• 50g butter, softened
• 2kg turkey crown on the bone
• 1 tsp Chinese five spice or a pinch of ground cloves

For the glaze

• 4 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar

Method

• STEP 1
  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.
  
  
• STEP 2
  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.
  

 

All I can hope is that you at least cut & paste that!!

Heaven.

Boat trips to Rhodes Town from there too.

Datça Not far from Marmaris. Beautiful

 

CONGRATULATIONS!!

You have won this week's special prize for the post that mentions Marmaris the most times.

Your prize is a week in Marmaris, with Albert and Chaos. Enjoy.

 

Can you imagine a week in Marmaris with Chaos man???? He'd actively look for street vendors to go have a bit craic with for hours on end just to annoy you

 

But Marmaris… well it looks a bit built up. I’m a mountains and sea man. …………… but…., cheap

(Marmaris, not me)

 

It’s not that built up and has mountains all around it mate.

 

Booked, Chippy….. will send a beer pic

 

good man. I’d recommend sorting a private boat trip too. They will basically be your chauffeur from 10-4.

 

you get a better XC rate changing English notes in bars by the way. I take just English now.

 

Money’s tight mate, I’ll make do with Efes at the all-incl and keep my fingers crossed for the beach. 13 hours I spent looking today - if I’d booked on Wednesday I’d have hit a cheaper price and nicer hotel…. Lesson learned!!

 

I read that; take sterling and the xc rate will be my friend (for now)

 

Yep.
Turks will taken any currency really and most bars will advertise the latest exchange rate.
I do take a small amount of TL over though just for cans on the way from Dalaman to Marmaris as I get a driver and he takes me to the off license.

 

“……… I get a driver….”

 

Here's yours mate

 

Nah……

Me, D and the kids…. 150 miles outside Marmaris… me watching every penny
