Ingredients
  

1 pound turkey breast, sliced into 1-inch thick medallions

8-10 slices of thick-cut bacon

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for an extra kick)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to simplify cleanup.

    Create the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and optional red pepper flakes. Ensure all the ingredients are well blended into a fragrant marinade.

      Marinate the Turkey: Add the turkey medallions to the bowl containing the marinade. Use your hands or a spatula to thoroughly coat each medallion, ensuring an even layer of flavor. Cover the bowl and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse the turkey.

        Wrap with Bacon: Take a slice of bacon and carefully wrap it around each turkey medallion, securing the end with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat this process until all medallions are beautifully wrapped.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the bacon-wrapped turkey medallions on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are spaced about an inch apart for even cooking and crispiness.

            Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on them towards the end; they should be golden and crispy on the outside. To ensure the turkey is safe to eat, check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

              Serve: Once cooked, remove the medallions from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes. Carefully take out any toothpicks. For a touch of freshness and color, garnish with finely chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy this savory dish warm with your favorite side!
