My guess the bacon is used as a source of oil to help keep the skin sealed. I just rub the skin with a vegetable oil for that purpose. http://kitchen.secretcorners.net/2010/11/23/brining-a-turkey#c91 Erika [Visitor] in response to: Brining a Turkey Tue, 23 Nov 2010 22:25:39 +0000 Erika [Visitor] c90@http://kitchen.secretcorners.net/ Hi Kimberly We have a family tradition. Have a low temp 325C,place bacon on top and cover with foil until the last hour of cooking. Then baste every ten to fifteen minutes.I usually don’t have dry turkey. Thanks for your recipe anyways.
