ingredients
5 pounds bone-in turkey breast
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle chile powder
5 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 package good quality bacon, I prefer uncured
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
If the turkey has a pop-up timer in it, remove it. It's useless.
Combine the spices with three tsp of the olive oil until it forms a paste. Work some of the paste under the skin of the turkey the best that you can.
Combine the remaining olive oil and honey with the remaining spice mixture. It should be a consistency that you can use a basting brush to brush the mixture on the turkey. If it isn't, add a little more oil.
Brush some of the mixture on the turkey. Then, start wrapping the bacon on the turkey. You can either layer it simply or weave it (see photo). Once it is completely covered, baste the bacon layer with more of the glaze.
Place in oven and bake for one hour. Baste, then bake for another hour, basting after 30 minutes. If the bacon starts to get too brown you can loosely tent it with some foil. The cooked turkey should register 180 degrees F. Let stand, tented with foil, for about 10 minutes, then carve as desired.
On the off chance there is any leftover bacon, use it on turkey sandwiches the next day.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Made this with a 3 lb. Turkey breast, used all spices as recommended. Only thing I changed was baking time. I baked 1 hour, checked temperature it was 165, so removed from oven, tented with foil and let rest for 15 minutes. It was perfectly cooked and delicious.
