Overnight should do the trick. Once thawed, remove the turkey breast from the packaging and trim off the netting if present. This is used to maintain the shape of the breast since the bone has been removed.

I am NEVER well, maybe cooking a whole turkey when I can make this juicy bacon wrapped turkey breast in a matter of a few hours. It fed 5 hungry adults and a few kids, so make 2 or 3 if you have to! Although I am a firm believer that bacon makes all things better, I think the brining of the turkey might have been the key to this ridiculously good meal.

Family arguments and disasters with toys and no batteries aside, this is probably the scene that will be played out in most family homes this Christmas day. And, it was after reading this survey that I decided to create a small Christmas dinner recipe for up to four people, or ideally for a couple with leftovers — a simple recipe that looks the part, is festive and tasty but that is suitable for a small Christmas dinner. All that you need to complete this Christmas dinner for two, are Christmas crackers, the best linen and crockery and a glass or three of sherry, or whatever tipple takes your fancy.

This bacon wrapped turkey breast is covered in a balsamic garlic herb rub then wrapped in a bacon weave for a flavorful, juicy turkey recipe. Since we have a small family, we started preparing a turkey breast a few years back instead of a whole turkey. The turkey is tender and juicy, the bacon is perfectly crisp and the entire dish is phenomenally flavorful! Tuck the bacon under the turkey.
