Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (about 2 lbs) Vegan turkey roast
- 8 slices Vegan bacon slices
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, smoked paprika, and black pepper to create a basting sauce.
Unwrap the vegan turkey roast and place it on a cutting board.
Using the prepared basting sauce, brush the entire turkey roast generously.
Wrap the vegan bacon slices around the turkey roast, covering it as fully as possible. Use kitchen twine or cocktail sticks to secure them if necessary.
Transfer the wrapped turkey roast to a baking dish.
Smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife and place them alongside the roast in the dish.
Cut the lemon into wedges and place them around the roast as well.
Tuck the rosemary sprigs under the wrapped roast to infuse flavor during cooking.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for 60 minutes, then remove the foil and baste the roast with the remaining sauce.
Return to the oven uncovered for an additional 30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden.
Let the roast rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
