Emeril's Bacon and Herb Roast Turkey Breast image

This is Emeril's recipe off the Food Network site. I wanted to spread around the goodness. Just a heads up that some of the other Food Network reviewers felt the salt content was a little high. Otherwise,...BAM!

Categories     Turkey Breasts

Time 1h25m

Yield 1 Turkey Breast, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 slices thick-cut bacon
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sage
1 1/2 teaspoons rosemary
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon thyme
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, divided
1 whole turkey breast (5 1/2 - 6 lbs)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Line a shallow roasting pan or baking dish with aluminum foil.
  • Rinse the turkey breast and pat dry.
  • Cook the bacon in a medium skillet until crisp then transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Reserve 1 tablespoon of the rendered bacon fat.
  • Finely mince the cooked bacon when it has cooled and transfer to a small bowl.
  • Add the garlic, sage, rosemary, oregano, thyme, butter, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper.
  • Mix thoroughly to combine and form a paste.
  • Gently loosen the skin on both sides of the turkey breast so that it is separated from the flesh.
  • Divide the herb paste in half and gently spread half between the skin and flesh on each side of the breast.
  • Season the outside of the turkey breast with the remaining teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
  • Brush the turkey all over with the reserved bacon fat.
  • Place prepared turkey breast in the prepared pan and roast, uncovered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the deep portion of the breast registers 165 degrees F, 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 or 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 20 minutes before carving into thin slices.
  • Serve with the pan drippings.
