That’s the way to do it! My family always used bacon as the basting agent when we cooked a turkey. We’d cook the turkey for about 2 hours and then we’d start applying the bacon. The best part is, you can snack on the bacon through the cooking as you take the crispy stuff off and apply a new batch of bacon!

I have a plan for next year, and that plan includes bacon.

You won’t regret it! My mom and I decided to skip the turkey this year and made sauerbraten instead, but when we got back to turkey I know we’ll be sticking with the bacon!

It will be the simplest, juiciest and tastiest bird you've ever had. Rub it down with seasoning and oil/butter before applying the bacon.

It doesn't do anything. You end up with shitty skin too.
