Weekly Recipe: Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Turkey Breast
Ingredients:
3lb. turkey breast
1lb. thin sliced bacon
10oz. pkg. chopped spinach; thawed and drained
½ stick butter; softened
1 Tbs. garlic; crushed
2 tsp. dried basil
½ c. Asiago cheese; shredded
Instructions:
Remove packaging from turkey breast and place breast skin side down on cutting board, spreading the skin out as much as possible to allow to wrap around breast.
Blend butter, garlic and basil together and spread over inside of turkey breast. Place spinach lengthwise down center of turkey breast and top with Asiago cheese. Pull skin around breast to make a roll. Set aside.
Lay strips of bacon on cutting board slightly overlapping each piece. Place turkey breast on top of bacon strips and begin overlapping bacon horizontally over turkey breast. Making sure to overlap ends of bacon strips to prevent curling of bacon while cooking.
Place turkey breast on roasting rack inside a 14" Dutch oven and hang over medium high heat (450°). Add top coals and cook for approximately 1 to 1- ½ hours or until thermometer reads 170°. Remove from oven and allow to rest prior to carving.
