Instructions

Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit. In small bowl, mix together butter, thyme, rosemary, parsley, sage, and garlic.
Place wire baking rack on baking sheet and set turkey breast on rack. Liberally coat turkey breast in butter-herb mixture, being sure to apply mixture evenly.
One by one, wrap strips of bacon around turkey breast and tuck ends of bacon under turkey to stay in place. Start by placing 2-4 slices of bacon horizontally across turkey breast to cover ends of turkey, then lay remaining slices of bacon vertically across turkey breast to cover sides.
Place baking sheet in preheated oven. Bake 2 hours or until turkey reaches internal temperature of 165° Fahrenheit. Once temperature is reached, remove turkey from oven and let rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Recipe Notes

If your turkey breast has a netting around it, be sure to remove that before you get started!
Don't skip the wire rack! It's super important. The rack elevates the turkey breast so the grease from the bacon will drip off and away. If you don't use the rack, the turkey and bacon will just sit in the grease, and the bacon won't get crispy all the way around.
Make it Dairy Free: Use dairy-free butter.
Make it Paleo: Use ghee instead of butter, and use a paleo-friendly bacon without sugar or other non-compliant additives.
