Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil all over the turkey breast. Combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, and thyme in a small bowl then rub all over the turkey. Ensure the seasonings get under the skin as well for more flavor.
- Lay the bacon slices over the turkey breast, covering as much of the surface as you can. The bacon should slightly overlap. Tuck the ends of the bacon under the turkey or secure with toothpicks to ensure it stays in place during roasting.
- Place the bacon-wrapped turkey breast on a rack in a roasting pan, skin side up. Pour the chicken broth right in the roasting pan. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Once the turkey is cooked, if you find the bacon is not as crisp or brown as you like, switch your oven to broil. Broil the turkey for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning. At the same time, if you find the bacon gets crispy before the turkey is cooked through, cover it with foil until finished cooking.
- Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute and the internal temperature to rise to the safe 165°F (74°C). Slice and serve.

Notes
- 165°F (74°C).
- Getting the Bacon Right: If the bacon is crisping too quickly, cover the turkey with foil to keep it from burning.
- Check the Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check if the turkey is done to make sure it's safe and yummy to eat. Turkey breast is safe to eat at 165°F (74°C).
- Let It Rest: After cooking, let the turkey sit for a bit so it gets even juicier when you slice it.
- Keep It Secure: Use toothpicks to hold the bacon in place while it cooks, but don't forget to take them out before you eat!
- Save the Juices: The broth and juices in the pan are great for making gravy or drizzling over the turkey when serving.
