Method

1. Take the turkey breast joint out of the fridge approximately 1 hr before you want to cook it. Preheat your oven to 190°C/Fan 170°C/Gas 5.

2. Place the turkey joint in a snug roasting tin. Season with salt and pepper. Place a large sheet of foil over the tin, crimping it to the edges so it forms a roomy tent over the turkey. Slide into the oven and roast for 40 mins.

3. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small pan. Add the apricot jam, ketchup and curry powder. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine and gently simmer for 2 mins. Take off the heat.

4. Remove the roasting tin from the oven and take off the foil. Brush the buttery apricot glaze all over the turkey. Return to the oven. Roast for a further 30 mins. After 30 mins, then turkey breast should be cooked through. Check by inserting a knife into the thickest part. The juices should run clear. If you have a meat thermometer, it should read 65-70C if you insert it. Transfer the turkey to a board and loosely cover with clean foil. Rest for 20 mins.

5. While the turkey rests, make the mango salsa. Peel the mango and slice the flesh away from the stone. Chop into small chunks. Peel and dice the red onion. Dice the tomatoes. Finely chop the chilli, scooping out the seeds and white pith for less heat. Scoop all the chopped ingredients into a mixing bowl.

6. Toast the cumin seeds in a dry frying pan for 1-2 mins till aromatic. Add to the bowl. Finely grate in the zest from 1 lime and squeeze in the juice. Roughly chop the coriander leaves and stalks and add to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper and stir to mix.

7. When the turkey has rested for 20 mins, carve it and serve with the mango salsa on the side and wedges of extra lime for squeezing. The turkey can be served warm with your favourite sides, or let it cool completely and store in the fridge in a sealed tub. Slice the cold turkey and use it to make sandwiches, loaded with the mango salsa, or take it on picnics with the salsa, salads and crusty bread
