Ingredients
- 1 boneless turkey breast (about 3-4 pounds)
- 12-16 slices of bacon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Turkey: Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil all over the turkey and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and rosemary.
- Wrap with Bacon: Lay the bacon slices over the turkey breast, overlapping them slightly to cover the surface completely.
