Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use a meat mallet to pound the turkey medallions to an even thickness.
- For a crispy bacon wrap, cook the bacon until it is just shy of your desired doneness before wrapping the medallions.
- If you prefer a milder bacon flavor, use a lower-sodium bacon or soak the bacon in water for 30 minutes before cooking.
- To prevent the bacon from burning, cook the medallions over medium heat and watch them closely.
- For a more flavorful filling, add chopped fresh herbs, grated Parmesan cheese, or crumbled blue cheese to the center of the medallions before wrapping them with bacon.
- To make the medallions ahead of time, cook them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the medallions in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the medallions in a preheated 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through.
