How to Make Bacon Lattice Turkey
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Prepare the turkey breast: Rinse the turkey breast and pat it dry. Season generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs (rosemary, thyme, sage work well).
- Prepare the bacon lattice: Lay out the bacon slices slightly overlapping on a large piece of parchment paper. Weave the bacon strips together to form a lattice, leaving some space between the strips for even cooking and browning.
- Place the turkey breast on top of the bacon lattice. Gently lift the edges of the lattice to wrap it around the turkey breast, ensuring it's secure.
- Place the wrapped turkey breast in a roasting pan and roast for approximately 2 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving. The bacon will continue to crisp up during this time.
- Garnish with fresh herbs before serving (optional).
