Recipe Ingredients

- 1 ½ pound approx. of Stuffing (recipe link on You Tube)

- 1 ½ to 2 pounds of Bacon sliced
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Recipe Instructions
Preheat Oven to 375F/190C
- Using a boning knife, remove all visible fat and carefully remove the skin and butterfly it like to chef did in the video. Using a plastic wrap carefully pound the breast to approx.1/4 to ½ inch thick. Salt and pepper the breast. Place some stuffing in the middle of the breast and arrange it nicely.
- Close the breast and wrap with the plastic wrap. Holding the wrap on both sides roll the breast onto the cutting board to tighten the roll and refrigerate for 15/20 minutes. This will allow the breast to cool and stay closed.
- On a sheet of parchment paper, arrange your bacon the same way the chef demonstrates in the video. Place your roll on top of the bacon and warp the bacon around the breast. Refrigerate the roll to cool the bacon which will again solidify the roll enough to pick it up and to place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle some black pepper generously.
- Bake for about one hour or until the internal temperature has reached 155/160 degrees and the bacon is crisp.
- Let it rest for 10/15 minutes before cutting.
Pro-Tips
Prepping Ahead
One of the best things about this recipe is its flexibility. You can prepare the stuffed turkey breast a day in advance. Once it’s rolled and wrapped in bacon, refrigerate it to allow the flavors to meld. On Thanksgiving Day, simply pop it in the oven. This not only saves time but also reduces stress, leaving you free to focus on your guests.
Bonus Pro-Tip: The Art of Resting
After removing your stuffed turkey breast from the oven, resist the urge to slice into it right away. Letting it rest for 10–15 minutes allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is moist and flavorful. Trust me, the patience pays off when you see how beautifully it slices!
