Bacon-Wrapped Turkey with Pear Cider Gravy Recipe
"Turkey is the centerpiece of the Thanksgiving table, but it can be tricky to get the bird both moist and fully cooked. Garnishing the breast with bacon bastes the white meat with fat while infusing it with porky flavor. Pears add a note of fall and match up with pear cider for a sweet, full-flavored gravy. What to buy: A fresh turkey will end up crispier and tastier. If you go with a frozen turkey, make sure it’s completely thawed before roasting (this will take several days in the refrigerator). Game plan: To get an accurate reading, measure the temperature of the turkey on the inside of the thigh, and make sure the thermometer is not touching the bone. You can watch the turkey evolve from bagged bird to glistening roast in our Start-to-Finish video. This recipe was featured as part of our Neoslacker Interactive Thanksgiving menu...."
