Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the turkey breast on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to carefully butterfly the turkey breast by slicing it horizontally to open it up like a book.
- Once butterflied, cover the turkey breast with plastic wrap and gently pound it with a meat mallet to even out the thickness. This will help ensure even cooking.
- Season the inside of the turkey breast with a dash of salt, a dash of black pepper, 1/2 tsp of dried oregano, and 1/2 tsp of ground cumin.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of fresh spinach and 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese. Mix well to evenly distribute the feta with the spinach.
- Spread the spinach and feta mixture evenly over the seasoned side of the turkey breast.
- Starting from one edge, carefully roll the turkey breast tightly over the stuffing until you have a log shape. Secure the roll with toothpicks if necessary to keep it from unraveling.
- Lay the bacon strips out on a work surface, overlapping slightly. Place the stuffed turkey roll on top of the bacon strips. Wrap the bacon strips around the roll, ensuring the ends of the bacon strips are tucked securely under the roll.
- Place the bacon-wrapped turkey breast onto a baking sheet or a roasting pan, seam side down.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (75°C) and the bacon is crispy and golden.
- Once done, remove the turkey breast from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the turkey breast into even pieces and serve warm.
Tips:
- Pre-cook the Spinach: Before stuffing it into the turkey breast, lightly sauté the spinach. This will ensure that any excess moisture is removed and the spinach is evenly cooked.
- Pound the Turkey: Use a meat mallet to pound the turkey breast to an even thickness. This will help it cook more evenly and make it easier to wrap around the stuffing.
- Secure with Toothpicks: To keep the bacon strips in place, use toothpicks. This will ensure that the bacon stays wrapped around the turkey during cooking.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure the turkey is cooked to perfection, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). This ensures that the turkey is safely cooked while remaining juicy.
- Let it Rest: After removing the turkey from the oven, let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful meal.
This bacon-wrapped turkey breast stuffed with spinach and feta is not just a feast for the taste buds, but also a visually appealing centerpiece for any meal. The combination of seasoned turkey, creamy feta, nutritious spinach, and crispy bacon ensures a mouthwatering result that's sure to impress your family and guests alike. Give it a try for your next dinner; it might just become your new go-to recipe.
