Turkey And Bacon Rolls Food

BACON-WRAPPED TURKEY ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set a wire rack on a baking sheet.
• Lay 1 turkey breast smooth-side down on a cutting board. There will be a thin side and a thick side. At about the midway point between them, slice horizontally into the thick side to within 2 inches of the outer edge so that you can open that side like a book and have 1 long piece. Pound the turkey with a mallet to an even thickness of about 1 inch. Repeat with the remaining breast.
• Place a large piece of parchment on a work surface. Arrange 12 slices of bacon horizontally on the parchment in 6 lines, with 2 slices of bacon slightly overlapping per line. Arrange the 6 lines so they are touching but not overlapping, with the ends lining up to form a rectangle. Working with the remaining 9 slices, weave the bacon in an over-under pattern by lifting alternating slices of the horizontal bacon lines and vertically placing a slice of bacon over or under as needed to create a woven lattice design.
• Place the turkey breasts horizontally on the bacon, overlapping slightly. Scoop the stuffing into the center of the turkey. Holding the bacon and turkey, roll them up away from you, making sure the roll ends up seam-side down. (Use the parchment to help you keep the bacon and turkey together as you roll.) Tie with twine in 3 spots across the roll and once lengthwise. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until the internal temperature registers 155 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 1 hour 40 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Slice and serve with the gravy and cranberry sauce.

TURKEY AND BACON ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Place each cutlet on a piece of aluminum foil (I like using reynolds release) and sprinkle each cutlet with salt, pepper, garlic, and basil.
• Add a slice of cheese and a two slices of ham to each cutlet.
• Starting with the narrowest end, roll up the cutlet tightly.
• Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each cutlet.
• Wrap up turkey roll tightly with the aluminum foil.
• Bake 25 minutes.
• Remove from oven and open foil to expose the bacon.
• Increase oven temp to 400.
• Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until the bacon is lightly browned.
• Serve.

TURKEY, BACON AND RANCH TORTILLA ROLL-UPS

Steps:

• Arrange the bacon in a single layer in a large nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until well browned and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Pour the rendered bacon fat into a small heatproof bowl and wipe out the skillet; reserve both. Once the bacon has cooled slightly, roughly chop into small pieces.
• Lay 1 tortilla on a clean work surface. Top with 3 slices of the cheese, tearing some of the slices to fit in an even layer. Next, top with 3 slices of the turkey, making sure to cover the cheese completely. Spread 1 tablespoon of the ranch dressing over the turkey, then sprinkle with half of the chopped bacon. Tightly roll up the tortilla, tucking the filling in as you go. Wrap tightly in a 12-by-12-inch piece of foil, pinching the ends to seal. Repeat with the remaining tortilla, cheese, turkey, ranch and bacon.
• Combine the hot sauce and butter in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter has melted and the sauce is smooth, about 4 minutes. Keep warm.
• Return the reserved skillet to the stove over medium heat. Place the foil-wrapped rolls in the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until heated through, about 4 minutes per side. (Wrapping and cooking the rolls in foil first will help keep their shape for easy slicing.) Remove the rolls and discard the foil. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved bacon fat to the skillet. Return the rolls to the skillet, seam-side down, and cook until the tortilla is well browned on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Slice each roll crosswise into about 10 pinwheels. Serve with the Buffalo sauce and more ranch dressing, for dipping.
