Roasted Turkey with Avocado, Bacon, Balsamic Onion Marmalade, and Mayonnaise
- 6 fresh sage leaves
- 1 (3- to 4-pound) boneless turkey breast
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 12 slices bacon
- 4 ciabatta rolls
- 1/2 cup Balsamic Onion Marmalade (page 193)
- 1 ripe avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and sliced
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise (page 176)
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Slide the sage leaves under the skin of the turkey breast and place the turkey on a sheet pan.
- Rub the skin with the butter and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Roast the turkey for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
- Baste the meat with its juices throughout.
- (Keep in mind that the meat will continue to cook even after its removed from the oven, so be careful not to cook it too long.)
- Allow the meat to rest before slicing, or cool completely.
- In a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
- Transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Slice the ciabatta rolls in half.
- Place the turkey slices on the bottom halves and top with the marmalade.
- Place the bottom and top halves of the rolls in the 350F oven and remove once the marmalade is heated through and the bread is toasted.
- Top the marmalade with the bacon, followed by the avocado.
- Evenly spread the mayonnaise on the top halves of the rolls.
- Close the sandwiches, cut into halves, and serve.
- Dont cook the bacon over too high heat or the fat will burn.
- When youre done, save the fat youve rendered and store it in the freezer.
- The next time youre roasting some vegetables, toss some bacon fat in with them!
