I have a daughter that doesn't like turkey. The first time she had this turkey breast, she had seconds....it's that good!!! My whole family LOVES it. I have to make this every Thanksgiving as well as the traditional turkey. I usually make three breasts for our family of 12.

3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large red bell pepper, chopped

How To Make cuban turkey breast

Step 1

Put all ingredients (except turkey & bacon) in a blender or food processor and blend well.

Step 2

Marinate turkey breast(s) , in this mixture overnight (in the refrigerator) I use a deep bowl so the breast(s)are covered. * Nets on the breasts should remain during marinating and baking steps to hold breasts together.
Step 3

Place marinated turkey breast(s) along with the marinade in a baking dish. Place thick sliced bacon over breast(s) before baking to prevent burning. The bacon also adds flavor to the sauce.
Step 4

Bake, uncovered, in preheated 325 degree oven. How long will depend on the size of the breast(s). Anywhere from 1 1/2 -3 hrs. I always use a meat thermometer to test...it should read 165 degrees.
Step 5

When turkey breast(s) is done, remove nets and place marinade in a saucepan, bring to a boil for several minutes and then simmer for 1 hour to reduce. This can be served with the sliced breast(s).
