    Making a moist and flavorful turkey doesn’t always have to be a process, and it doesn’t always have to be for a holiday meal. Here we skip the brine and stuffing and stick to a tried and true flavor enhancer, bacon.

    Maple-Bacon Wrapped Turkey Parts

    The bacon mixed with maple syrup gives the turkey a slight twist in flavor profile, adding a touch of sweetness and saltiness in addition to the traditional herb seasoning.

    This recipe uses turkey parts rather than a full bird, making it simple enough for a weekday dinner. It’s less time-consuming than dealing with a whole turkey and less intimidating too.

    Cooking just the parts allows you to ensure every bit of the turkey is cooked to perfection, something you can’t always do while the thighs and breasts are still attached to the carcass.

    This recipe is also ideal for a host only serving a small number of people or one with family members who favor dark meat over white or vice versa.

    We chose to use breasts and legs, but feel free to mix it up with whatever your favorites are. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time as needed. It’s best to get bone-in turkey if possible. You can make this soup using leftovers and homemade stock for comfort during the colder months.

    Serve the turkey alongside this Sweet Potato and Rutabaga Mash and Creamy Garlic Mushrooms for a full meal suggestion.
