I love that this recipe uses turkey bacon. It's a healthier alternative to regular bacon, and it still tastes great.

This dish is a little too rich for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my turkey medallions were tough and chewy. I think I might have overcooked them.

I followed the recipe exactly and the turkey came out a little dry. I think I'll try brining the turkey next time.

The maple glaze is what really makes this dish. It's sweet and tangy, and it perfectly complements the turkey and bacon.

I made this for my family last night and they loved it! The turkey was moist and tender, and the bacon and maple glaze were the perfect finishing touch.
