Bacon Wrapped Turkey
- 1 (10 lb) turkey
- 1 cup poultry seasoning
- 10 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 cups olive oil
- 1 lb bacon, sliced into thin strips
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- Wash the turkey inside and out and pat dry.
- Mix together the poultry seasoning, minced garlic and olive oil to make a paste. Rub the paste underneath the skin of the breasts of the turkey, carefully so you do not tear the skin.
- Add 2 cups of water to the roasting pan. Place turkey into roasting pan on a rack over the water.
- Roast the turkey for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and turn the heat down to 350 degrees. Cover the turkey in the bacon slices, in cross-hatch form or just by overlapping the slices in strips. Put back in the oven and continue to cook for 2 more hours or until an internal thermometer temperature reaches 160 degrees.
