Bacon-Wrapped Turkey Roast

Enjoy this turkey with stuffing and cranberry sauce all rolled into an easy-to-carve roast.  And since it's surrounded by crisp bacon, there's no need to tie it with butcher's twine!  As always...Kraft recipe.

Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup Kraft Extra Virgin Olive Oil Aged Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1-3/4 lb. boneless skinless turkey breast, butterflied
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 pkg. Stove Top Lower Sodium Stuffing Mix for Chicken
  • 3/4 cup canned whole berry cranberry sauce, divided
  • 8 slices reduced-sodium bacon
  • 6 fresh sage leaves

Directions:
  • Heat oven to 400ºF.
  • Heat dressing in small nonstick skillet on medium heat. 
  • Add onions; cook 10 min. or until crisp-tender, stirring frequently; let cool.
  • Pound turkey to 1/2-inch thickness. 
  • Add water to stuffing mix in medium bowl; stir just until moistened. 
  • Stir in onions; spoon down one long side of turkey. 
  • Spoon 1/4 cup cranberry sauce next to stuffing. 
  • Starting at covered side, roll up turkey breast; place, seam side down, on parchment-covered rimmed baking sheet.
  • Wrap bacon, with slices slightly overlapping, around turkey. (Turkey should be completely covered with bacon.) 
  • Top with sage; press gently into bacon. 
  • Spray foil with cooking spray; place over turkey, gently pressing foil onto bacon.
  • Bake 50 to 55 min. or until turkey is done (170ºF), uncovering after 30 min. 
  • Serve with remaining cranberry sauce.
