How To Make a Bacon-Wrapped Turkey — Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn

Descrition:

As a person who doesn't really love turkey and wishes we'd just trade the ol' bird for a beef tenderloin or a honey ham, bacon-wrapped turkey was a bit of a surprise to me. Bacon-wrapped turkey is the turkey for turkey haters. Wrapping a turkey in bacon is fun, taking some of the stress off of roasting a Norman Rockwell-worthy turkey and wowing your guests at the same time. What's even better? Wrapping a turkey in bacon eliminates any brining, salting, or basting to make a flavorful turkey and creates a stunning, crispy "skin" — a welcome contrast to the tender turkey meat. And it's much easier than it looks.
