  • 1 teaspoons Salt and pepper

    • Preheat oven to 350° Rub salt and pepper on turkey, place bacon or salt pork ontop of turkey breast.

    Wrap turkey in heavy duty foil sprayed with non-stick spary. Put in a roaster, add water, Keep checking to make sure the pan doesn't go dry.

    Bake for 2-4 hours depending on size.

    Roll back foil if not skinned and remove bacon and brown. Remove turkey and use broth for gravy.
