Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F/160°C. Place the wire rack on the baking sheet.
Season: Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Rub it with the oil and all the spices.
Wrap the breast with bacon, slightly overlapping the slices and completely covering the meat. Secure the pieces with toothpicks; it’s enough to secure the loose ends underneath and on the sides of the meat.
Roast: Place the turkey breast on the baking sheet lined with a baking rack, toothpick-side down. Roast in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 160°F/ 71°C.
Check the bacon after about 40 minutes; if it’s starting to get too brown already, cover it loosely with foil and remove the foil again during the last minutes to allow the bacon to crisp nicely.
Allow to rest for 10-15 minutes. The internal temperature will rise to 165°F/74°C during this time, and the turkey breast will be fully cooked.

Notes

Meat: Use a boneless, skinless piece of meat about the indicated size. A bone-in piece or one that’s too large will take longer to cook, resulting in burnt bacon. Also, remove the skin if it’s still attached to the breast.
Bacon: The number of bacon slices you need really depends on their size. You should have enough to cover the meat entirely.
Seasoning: Use your favorite poultry seasoning or dry rub, fine sea salt, and ground black pepper. If all you have are salt and pepper (and maybe a bit of paprika), rest assured that the turkey roast will still be delicious.
