Bacon Under Turkey Skin
Method STEP 1 If you have time the day before salt the turkey. Nov 14 2007 0109 PM 13.
Make the salt mix by grinding the salt with the thyme leaves.
Bacon under turkey skin. It looks good but the bacon itself loses its flavour. Loosen the breast skin of the turkey by sliding your fingers underneath it and carefully lifting the skin up from the turkey flesh without tearing the skin. Using your fingers slide the chopped bacon onion and sage mixture under the skin and rub it all over the breast and down toward the thighs.
Cool and put in a food processor with 140g softened butter and 1 tbsp maple syrup. The salty flavour goes into the turkey skin which is a small benefit but that flavour doesnt penetrate the meat. Pat the turkey dry.
Once you can get in there with your hands begin stuffing the soft bacon butter under the skin by the handfuls. Shape the butter into a log and chill. Thinly sliced bacon in a single flat layer.
Finely chop 6 rashers of smoked streaky bacon or pancetta in a dry pan from cold until they release their oil and crisp up. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Push it down into the areas all around the breast and even onto the legs if you can.

Melted butter mixed with 1 tbsp. Place the celery stalks in the roasting panthese will keep the turkey raised off the bottom of the pan without the hassle of a roasting rack but you can also use one instead. This turkey is quite fool proo.
Add enough water to roasting pan to fill it 14-inch deep. Rinse the turkey and pat it dry with paper towels. I came across some tidbits where people were swearing by putting bacon strips across the breast of their turkey actually I think theres something like that on the neo-slackers guide to thanksgiving on this site but it doesnt really work well on my browser here.
