Bacon-Woven Stuffed Turkey Breast

Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Temperature: 200°C
Serves: 4-6

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 boneless turkey breast (about 1-1.5 kg)

• 10 slices bacon

• 1½ cups cooked cornbread stuffing

• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

• Kitchen string for tying

DIRECTIONS:

1. Prepare Turkey: Slice the turkey breast down the middle horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open it up like a book to butterfly.

2. Create Bacon Weave: Lay out bacon slices in a weaving pattern on a piece of wax paper to create a bacon lattice.

3. Stuff and Assemble: Place the butterflied turkey breast over the bacon weave. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the cooked cornbread stuffing into the center of the turkey. Carefully roll the turkey closed, using the bacon weave to wrap around the turkey.

4. Secure: Tie the ends and middle of the turkey roll with kitchen string to maintain its shape during cooking. Brush the bacon with olive oil to help it crisp.

5. Prepare Pan: Line the baking pan with aluminum foil. Place the bacon-wrapped turkey on the pan.

6. Cook: Put the baking pan into rack Position 3. Set to ROAST function at 200°C for 20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 75°C.

7. Rest and Serve: Let the turkey rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Remove the string and serve with roasted asparagus or your favorite sides.
   
   

Chef's Tip: For extra flavor, add herbs like sage or thyme to your cornbread stuffing. Make sure your bacon weave is tight but not stretched too thin, as bacon shrinks during cooking. Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness without overcooking.
