Revamp your dinner with this oven-baked turkey breast stuffed with cheese and bacon

The staple protein featured in most of our meals is chicken. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, but why not try a slight twist? Instead of chicken breast, use turkey meat and stuff it liberally with flavorful ingredients.

Consider a combination of aromatic marinade based on spices, bacon, and yellow cheese. Trust me, such a trio will significantly enhance the flavor of the turkey. Moreover, go for a lighter and more nuanced approach instead of frying the meat. Bake the turkey and its delicious stuffing in the oven - you won't regret it. It promises to be a true feast for every taste bud.

Ingredients:

• 1.32 lb. turkey breast,
• ⅓ cup of olive oil,
• 1 tablespoon of dried oregano,
• 1 tablespoon of dried thyme,
• 1 tablespoon of dried marjoram,
• 1 teaspoon of salt,
• ⅓ teaspoon of pepper,
• 10 slices of yellow cheese,
• 10 slices of bacon.

Preparation:

Step 1. Prepare by cleaning, drying, and laying the turkey breast on a cutting board. Make a few horizontal incisions along its entire length, creating the effect of mini pockets for stuffing.

Step 2. Next, take a slice of yellow cheese, place a slice of bacon directly on top, fold it in half, and insert the assembled package into the pockets you made earlier.

Step 3. The recipe isn't complete without a marinade. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, oregano, marjoram, thyme, garlic (peeled and crushed through a press), salt, and pepper.

Mix thoroughly to blend well and achieve a perfect melding of flavors.

Step 4. Generously apply the resulting mixture to the turkey with its fillings. Then, bake it in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 374 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 5. As the turkey cooks, prepare side dishes for the dinner. For a balanced meal, pair the turkey breast with a colorful salad. You can also serve it with potatoes, rice, or groats. Choose whichever option suits you best. So there you go, bon appétit!
