Ingredients
  

  • 4 lb boneless turkey breast
  • 10 - 12 slices HORMEL® BLACK LABEL® Bacon
Stuffing
  • 6 cups  bread cubes
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 onion  - chopped
  • 2 celery ribs - chopped
  • 1 - 2 tbsp fresh sage  - chopped
  • 1 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 - 2 cups  chicken broth

Method
 

STUFFING
  1. Melt the butter in a skillet and cook the onion and celery for 6 - 8 minutes, until softened.
  2. Place bread cubes in a large bowl and add the cooked veggies, all seasonings and then add the chicken broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring to moisten the bread crumbs. Add enough broth so that the dressing is moist, but not overly soggy.
  3. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as desired.
TURKEY
  1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
  2. Place the turkey breast on a cutting board and butterfly the breast. Cover with plastic wrap or parchment and pound to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  3. Lay out the bacon slices in a row, allowing a slight overlap. Use enough bacon to allow for about an inch overhang at the top and bottom of the turkey.
  4. Place the prepared turkey over the bacon and add the stuffing down the length of the breast then roll the breast to cover the stuffing, tucking the ends.
  5. Pull the bacon around the stuffed turkey and tie with with cooking twine at 1-inch intervals
  6. Place the turkey, seam side down, into a roasting pan.
  7. Roast until internal temperature of the turkey breast is 165 degrees F, about 1 hour or 12 to 15 minutes per pound.
  8. Let rest for 10 minutes, cut the twice, then slice and serve.
