Stuffed Turkey Breast 3 Ways

Each Breast Serves: 4

For Christmas Eve dinner I opted to make three types of stuffed turkey breasts that are wrapped in bacon. If you have a dinner party for more than 10 people, making these three gives everyone an option. Otherwise you can make one anytime you just want turkey for dinner and still want to fancy it up. I usually make it ahead of time and let sit in the fridge until I’m ready to wrap with bacon and bake it.
