If you&#8217;re planning to feed a crowd, here&#8217;s approximately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-much-turkey-per-person\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-much-turkey-per-person\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how much turkey you need per person.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Bacon:<\/strong> It&#8217;s true. Everything is better with bacon, and here it helps keep the lean turkey breast from drying out. When buying bacon, look for slices with plenty of lean pink meat and small amounts of fat. You don&#8217;t want super-thick bacon for wrapping, either. Thin-cut bacon will cook more evenly around the roast.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tarragon:<\/strong> This tender herb boasts a subtle licorice flavor that adds a touch of elegance to any dish. A central herb in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/herbs-de-provence-uses\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/herbs-de-provence-uses\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">herbs de Provence<\/a>, tarragon has palate-pleasing grass and citrus notes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frozen spinach: <\/strong>Make sure to drain and squeeze as much moisture from your thawed frozen spinach before using.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mushrooms<\/strong>: This recipe calls for jarred mushrooms, but you can also use thinly sliced fresh mushrooms. You&#8217;ll want to cook them down first to release excess moisture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the turkey breast<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F. Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise slit down the center of the turkey breast, stopping about 1\/2 inch from the bottom. Open the breast so it lies flat. Cover it with plastic wrap, and flatten to 1\/2-inch thick. Discard the plastic.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip<\/em>: You can flatten boneless skinless turkey breast in several ways. Simply cover with plastic wrap or put in a large resealable plastic bag, and flatten with the heel of your hand, a meat mallet, rolling pin or skillet.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Make the sauce<\/h3>\n<p>In a large skillet, cook two bacon strips until crisp. With a slotted spoon, move them to a paper towel-lined plate to collect any excess grease. Crumble the bacon, and set aside. In the skillet with the leftover drippings, saute the chopped onion until tender. Stir in the flour, tarragon, salt and pepper until well blended. Gradually stir in the milk a bit at a time. Bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, for two minutes, until sauce has thickened. Remove from heat.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Add the filling, and roll up<\/h3>\n<p>Set aside 1\/2 cup of the sauce in the refrigerator. To the remaining sauce, add the spinach, mushrooms and crumbled bacon. Spread this mixture evenly over the flattened turkey breast. Starting at a long end, roll the meat up tightly around the filling. Tie with kitchen string to secure. Place the stuffed turkey breast, seam side up, in a greased shallow roasting pan. Brush with melted butter. Cut the remaining bacon strips in half, and place them over the rolled turkey breast.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip<\/em>: When rolling the turkey, it might not close all the way around the filling. Use toothpicks to help keep stuffed turkey breast roll as tight as possible when tying.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Bake<\/h3>\n<p>Bake the turkey until it is no longer pink and a thermometer inserted into the center of the meat and stuffing reaches at least 165\u00b0, 60 to 65 minutes, covering loosely with aluminum foil during final 15 minutes of cook time if need to prevent overbrowning.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Allow turkey breast to rest<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1946961\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Turkey-Breast-Florentine_TOHX24_17281_DR_11_29_6b_SSedit.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Turkey Breast Florentine Tohx24 17281 Dr 11 29 6b Ssedit\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>Cut away the string, and discard. Let the turkey stand for 10 minutes before slicing into it. Meanwhile, heat the reserved sauce.

Think sausage, bread crumbs, cornbread, dried fruits, different cheeses, vegetables and more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use prosciutto<\/strong>: Instead of layering the top with bacon, try wrapping the whole thing in prosciutto. This thinly sliced cured meat gives the same porky, salty, savory flavor of bacon and will help protect the meat from drying out. It&#8217;s one of our favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/ways-to-use-prosciutto\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/ways-to-use-prosciutto\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ways to use prosciutto<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use different herbs<\/strong>: Don&#8217;t have dried tarragon?
