Turkey wrapped in bacon is a quick and easy Thanksgiving recipe with a twist!
Ingredients
✓¼ cup dried sage
✓2 tablespoons garlic powder
✓1 (16 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed
✓2 (12 ounce) packages bacon
✓2 cups water
Instructions
1
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a roasting rack in a large baking dish.
2
Sprinkle sage and garlic powder over entire turkey.
3
Wrap turkey completely with bacon.
4
Place turkey on the rack in the prepared baking dish. Pour water into the dish.
5
Bake turkey in the preheated oven, basting every 45 minutes with juices in the baking dish, until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 3 1/2 to 4 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
