Thanksgiving Bacon Roulade Recipes

BACON-WRAPPED TURKEY ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set a wire rack on a baking sheet.
• Lay 1 turkey breast smooth-side down on a cutting board. There will be a thin side and a thick side. At about the midway point between them, slice horizontally into the thick side to within 2 inches of the outer edge so that you can open that side like a book and have 1 long piece. Pound the turkey with a mallet to an even thickness of about 1 inch. Repeat with the remaining breast.
• Place a large piece of parchment on a work surface. Arrange 12 slices of bacon horizontally on the parchment in 6 lines, with 2 slices of bacon slightly overlapping per line. Arrange the 6 lines so they are touching but not overlapping, with the ends lining up to form a rectangle. Working with the remaining 9 slices, weave the bacon in an over-under pattern by lifting alternating slices of the horizontal bacon lines and vertically placing a slice of bacon over or under as needed to create a woven lattice design.
• Place the turkey breasts horizontally on the bacon, overlapping slightly. Scoop the stuffing into the center of the turkey. Holding the bacon and turkey, roll them up away from you, making sure the roll ends up seam-side down. (Use the parchment to help you keep the bacon and turkey together as you roll.) Tie with twine in 3 spots across the roll and once lengthwise. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until the internal temperature registers 155 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 1 hour 40 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Slice and serve with the gravy and cranberry sauce.

BAKED FLANK STEAK ROULADE STUFFED WITH BACON AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Sandwich the flank steaks between waxed paper and pound with a kitchen mallet to tenderize.
• Whisk olive oil, Italian seasoning, pepper, and garlic for marinade together in a small bowl. Pour into the bottom of a baking dish that's large enough to hold both steaks in a single layer. Add steaks so that one side is touching the marinade; do not flip to coat. Let sit while you prepare the filling.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until slightly browned and not yet crispy, about 8 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
• Mix cream cheese, Italian cheese, spinach, and garlic together in a bowl. Spread cheese mixture on the unmarinated side of the steaks. Place 5 bacon strips on top the cheese on each steak. Roll steaks up and pin with toothpicks to secure.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 135 to 140 degrees F (57 to 60 degrees C), about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing.

TURKEY THIGH ROULADE

Steps:

• Pour the water into a bowl. Slowly sprinkle the Activa over the water and whisk to combine. The mixture will begin to foam and look like lightly whipped cream. Once all the Activa is dispersed in the water, let the mixture rest for 10 minutes. The foam will subside and the GS is ready to use. Refrigerate until the thighs and bacon are ready to be assembled.
• Remove the skin from the turkey. Cut out the thighbone and remove any obvious pockets of fat and sinew. Starting from the place where the thighbone was, butterfly the thighs. Cut from the center outward on each side, leaving enough meat intact to hold the pieces together. Tenderize the thighs by pressing the Jaccard evenly over the thighs to cut uniform incisions into the muscle fibers. Combine the salt and togarashi in a small bowl, and season both sides of the thighs with the spices. (You may have some left over.)
• Lay the bacon out flat on a cutting board. Use a pastry brush to apply a fine layer of the Activa slurry over both sides of each slice of bacon. Brush the Activa mixture on the turkey thighs, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
• Lay two 3-foot (1-meter) sheets of plastic wrap on the counter. Let the sheets overlap slightly so you have a double-wide sheet of plastic. Begin laying the bacon in the center of the plastic, overlapping the slices by one-third to create what looks like a raft of bacon.
• Arrange the turkey thighs on the edge of the bacon nearest you, one on top of the other and slightly offset so they form a uniform thickness. Use the plastic wrap to help lift the bacon up and around the thighs, like a giant sushi roll. Once the bacon is wrapped around the turkey, use the plastic to pull the bacon tight around the thighs. Pull and roll the plastic around the turkey bacon roll, making a tight roulade. Use another sheet of plastic to roll around the roulade one more time and squeeze it tight. Place the roulade in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or up to 24 hours.
• To cook the roulade, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Remove the plastic wrap, place the roulade on a rack set over a roasting pan, and roast for 1 hour. The bacon should be brown and caramelized. If it's not fully cooked, turn on the broiler to finish cooking the bacon. Remove the roulade from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Slice and serve.
