Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, for the parchment paper
1/2 pound bacon (about 8 strips)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Six to eight 2-inch slices baguette
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
One 7- to 8-pound skin-on boneless split turkey breast

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with cooking spray. Shingle the bacon strips side-by-side on the parchment paper, allowing the edges to overlap slightly. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Butter each side of the bread slices, using 2 tablespoons butter in total. Place the bread in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
  • Mix the remaining 4 tablespoons butter with the sage, maple syrup, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper in a bowl. Use your fingers, and a knife, if necessary, to make a pocket between the meat and the skin of the turkey. Rub the butter under the skin in an even layer. Place the sheet pan with the bacon on a work surface, then lay the turkey skin-side down on the bacon. Wrap the bacon around the turkey by lifting the parchment and pressing the bacon against it to secure. Place the turkey skin-side up on top of the bread and lift away the parchment.
  • Roast until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Let rest for 30 minutes before slicing. Quarter the stuffing croutons before serving. Serve warm.

This recipe was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The turkey breast was moist and flavorful, and the stuffing was perfectly seasoned. The bacon added a nice touch of smokiness. I highly recommend this recipe.
