Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, for the parchment paper
1/2 pound bacon (about 8 strips)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Six to eight 2-inch slices baguette
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
One 7- to 8-pound skin-on boneless split turkey breast

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with cooking spray. Shingle the bacon strips side-by-side on the parchment paper, allowing the edges to overlap slightly. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Butter each side of the bread slices, using 2 tablespoons butter in total. Place the bread in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
  • Mix the remaining 4 tablespoons butter with the sage, maple syrup, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper in a bowl. Use your fingers, and a knife, if necessary, to make a pocket between the meat and the skin of the turkey. Rub the butter under the skin in an even layer. Place the sheet pan with the bacon on a work surface, then lay the turkey skin-side down on the bacon. Wrap the bacon around the turkey by lifting the parchment and pressing the bacon against it to secure. Place the turkey skin-side up on top of the bread and lift away the parchment.
  • Roast until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Let rest for 30 minutes before slicing. Quarter the stuffing croutons before serving. Serve warm.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large turkey breast
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground cumin
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup fresh spinach, or to taste
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
12 slices reduced-sodium bacon, or as needed

Arrange spinach leaves in 1 layer on 1 of the pieces of turkey and top with a layer of feta cheese. Repeat layering with spinach and feta cheese.

  • Use a variety of fillings: The hazelnut mole is a delicious filling for bacon-wrapped turkey breast, but you can also use other fillings, such as stuffing, vegetables, or cheese.
  • Wrap the turkey breast tightly with bacon: This will help to keep the turkey breast moist and flavorful. You can use regular bacon or thick-cut bacon.
  • Cook the turkey breast to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit: This will ensure that the turkey breast is cooked through and safe to eat.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped turkey breast with hazelnut mole is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your turkey breast turns out perfect every time.
