Directions

Honey-Ginger Marinade

Turkey

Separate the turkey breast by cutting through the center of the rib cage.
Gently pull and separate the breast from the turkey bones.
Remove skin from the turkey.
Square the ends of the breasts.
Cut breasts across the grain forming 3 - 4 filets (about 8 ounces each) off each breast. Save bones for use in glaze.
Wrap each filet with bacon and secure with toothpicks.
Cover with 2/3 cup Honey Ginger Marinade and refrigerate for about 12 hours.

Glaze

Heat oil and sauté garlic, onion, carrots and celery until vegetables begin to caramelize.
Add turkey bones. Season with salt, pepper and herbs.
Place in a preheated 325 degree F oven for about 12-15 minutes or until cooked thoroughly. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Add red wine and deglaze pan. Lower heat to a simmer and reduce liquid by 1/2.
Add turkey stock to pan, bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer. Continue to cook until reduced by half.
Strain, then continue to reduce until thick enough to coat a spoon.

Grilling the Turkey

Place filets on grill and season as required.
Grill on each side to make grill marks.
Place in a preheated 325 degree F oven for about 12-15 minutes or until cooked thoroughly. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle with glaze.
