Gonna have an awful lot of fat to skim off the pan drippings to make
gravy though!

Well, the outside of it will be moist, anyway. I don't know about how
the meat will turn out.

I hope the bacon doesn't overtake and mask the taste of the turkey.
Still, loving bacon as I do, that looks
pretty tasty.

That's what I thought. Better to just use fat back.

Oh, I'm not making it! I just found a pic on the Internet of it.

Interesting idea though! As ImStillMags says above, I love bacon too!
And can you imagine the delicious bacony flavor it would lend to not
only the turkey but the gravy too? MmmmmmmmMMMMM!! :-)

The turkey does get a bacon taste. In this case, it will be pretty
strong. As an added bonus, you can use the bacon cap as a lampshade. I
recommend that you give it a dip in Varithane to discourage critters
and vermin. 💀

Not if you're a totally insane bacon guy! OTOH, the only way to insure
a non-dried out turkey is to not over cook your bird. If you don't
know how to do this, you'll just have to get a thermometer.

Maybe that's what gave them the idea for turkey bacon! :-)

I have made a coat of many bacon before. The idea seemed like a good
one but the taste was too strange. Guess I'm not a totally insane
bacon guy. I used less than a pound of bacon.

Experience speaks! Yes I can imagine. One lesson I try to remember in
cooking "less is more". I really have a tendency to over do things!

Thank you. It was delicious, very juicy. It was still partially
frozen when I put it into the oven, took more than an hour longer than
the instructions indicated before that little plastic thingie popped,
I almost gave up waiting... I kept resetting the timer for additional
20 minutes, after the fourth time it popped.... maybe the trick is to
put it in the oven still partially frozen.

It really doesn't sound that good to me, but then I like turkey, so
wouldn't want to mask the flavor of it. I like laying bacon over
meatloaf, and I have a hamburger/bean casserole, that I layer bacon on
the top of before baking, but bacon over turkey just would be of no
benefit, unless one wanted to change the flavor of it.

I've never had a turkey turn out dry. I use my big covered electric
roaster pan, and it's cooked to perfection and juicy as all get out, if
cooked in the time allowed for the poundage.

Have used the cooking bags for a smaller turkey too, and they do a good
job.
