BACON WRAPPED TURKEY

Around Thanksgiving, I read an article that Chef Gordon Ramsey wraps his turkey with bacon.  So, I decided to try it!

Ingredients: 

Turkey

Bacon (1 lb)

Butter (1 stick to 1.5 sticks)

Spices (I used onion powder, garlic salt and Italian seasoning) I didn't measure, just eyed it.

You will need a good size pan for the turkey.  Don’t forget to remove the stuff inside the turkey.

First, I put some butter under the skin.  (I used a butter knife to get the butter under the skin.)  Then I melted some butter and added onion powder, garlic salt and Italian seasoning and spread it over the top. 

 

 I put the turkey in the over for an hour.

I removed the turkey from the oven and completely wrapped it with bacon and then put the turkey back in the oven to finish cooking.

When it was done, the bacon was browned and the meat was moist.  It was probably the moistest turkey that I have ever made.  I will definitely do this again!
