The Holiday's Aren't Complete Without a Bacon Wrapped Turkey

What if we told you that turkey could be even more delicious this year? This year, the way to enjoy your turkey is by wrapping it in an indulgent layer of crispy bacon. Wow your guests this year with a flavorful Bacon-wrapped turkey.

This bacon-wrapped turkey recipe will revolutionize your Thanksgiving meal! As much as we all love turkey, it does have a tendency to be on the drier side at times. This bacon adds the flavor and crispiness to make this bacon-wrapped turkey the tastiest Thanksgiving turkey you've ever had.

First, preheat your oven temperature to 375°. Chop your onion, then rinse your fresh turkey with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Stuff the turkey's cavity with thyme, rosemary, and apple, then tie legs together with twine and tuck in the wings.

Melt butter, and combine with seasonings in a medium bowl, stirring until fully mixed. Brush turkey with herb butter mixture, covering the whole turkey. If you want, you can use a turkey breast in place of a whole roast turkey. A Bacon-wrapped turkey breast is sure to get some oohs and ahhs!

Place turkey in a roasting pan, and then place strips of bacon on turkey. Weave slices of bacon together until you've created a fully covered bacon-wrapped turkey!

Bake for 3 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the turkey's thigh is 165°. If you prefer to baste your turkey, do so about every 20 minutes throughout cooking time to ensure juicy, moist turkey meat. Check bacon-wrapped turkey after 2 hours and cover with foil if bacon is getting too dark.

Once finished cooking, let your bacon wrapped turkey rest at room temperature until cooled enough to eat. Carve turkey on a turkey cutting board, with a juice groove to collect excess liquids. Then enjoy this crispy, delicious Thanksgiving meal!
