5-star stuffed turkey roll
I can't get over just how amazing this turkey roll is. It's beyond moist! The compliments came rolling in on Thanksgiving from, "Where did you buy this?" to "This is something you would get at a 5-star restaurant!" I will never make a whole turkey again. You can make this up the day before and cook it while your guests socialize. Less mess, less cooking time, and something you can make up the day before.

Wow, this stuffed turkey roll is a 5-star recipe. To wrap the turkey breast in bacon is slightly labor intensive, but nothing is complicated. This recipe is a great Thanksgiving dinner alternative for a smaller gathering. Wrapping the turkey breast in bacon keeps it tender and moist. The bacon's flavor infuses into the turkey meat. Adding mushrooms to the stuffing gives it a little texture. When the turkey is sliced, it reveals the stuffing inside. Each bite tastes like a Thanksgiving dinner.
