Ingredients
1 boneless turkey breast, 2 to 3 lbs
8 slices of bacon
2 olive oil
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
Rinse the turkey breast under cold water and pat it thoroughly dry with paper towels.
-
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper
-
Rub the spice mixture all over the turkey breast, making sure it is easily coated.
-
Lay the bacon slices side by side on a cutting board, slightly overlapping each other to create a flat layer of bacon.
-
Place the turkey breast on top of the bacon slices, with the skin side up.
-
Wrap the bacon slices around the turkey breast, tucking the ends underneath the breast.
-
Transfer the bacon-wrapped turkey breast to a roasting pan, with the bacon seem side down.
-
Roast the turkey breast for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 165°F.
-
Remove the pan from the oven and let the turkey breast rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
-
Slice the turkey breast crosswise into thin slices and serve.
