Turkey Breast With Bulgur And Feta Cheese Recipes

BACON WRAPPED TURKEY BREAST STUFFED WITH SPINACH AND FETA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Arrange spinach leaves in 1 layer on 1 of the pieces of turkey and top with a layer of feta cheese. Repeat layering with spinach and feta cheese. Fold the other turkey breast half over the feta layer so the filling is sealed. Wrap the entire turkey breast with bacon. Place wrapped turkey in a baking dish and season with salt and pepper.
