Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medallions (4-6 oz each) Turkey breast
- 4 slices Turkey bacon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the turkey medallions dry with paper towels. Season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Wrap each turkey medallion with a slice of turkey bacon, securing it with a toothpick or kitchen twine.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the turkey medallions in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.
Add the butter and rosemary sprigs to the skillet. Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the turkey medallions with the melted butter for about 1 minute.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the medallions rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Plate the turkey filets, optional garnish with extra rosemary or a sprinkle of smoked paprika. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
