Bacon-Wrapped Turkey Breast with Hazelnut Mole

This bacon-wrapped turkey breast with hazelnut mole is a sophisticated take on a classic roast, offering an incredible depth of flavour without a drop of dairy. The turkey is marinated overnight in a zesty, spiced blend of lime, garlic, and smoky adobo sauce, ensuring the meat remains exceptionally tender and moist. Wrapping the breasts in applewood-smoked bacon not only adds a savoury crunch but also protects the lean meat during roasting, resulting in a showstopping centrepiece that feels truly indulgent.

Ideal for a contemporary Sunday lunch or a celebratory dinner party, this dish replaces traditional gravy with a velvety, homemade hazelnut mole. The earthy notes of the nuts and the gentle heat from the chipotle create a complex sauce that pairs beautifully with the smoky bacon. Serve this gluten-free and dairy-free main with roasted seasonal vegetables for a complete meal that is as nutritious as it is comforting.

Ingredients for Bacon-Wrapped Turkey Breast with Hazelnut Mole

  • 1/2 cup fresh Italian parsley leaves

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 3 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

  • 3 stora vitlöksklyftor, skalade

  • 2 tablespoons adobo sauce from canned chipotles*

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 2 teskedar Worcestershiresås

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1/2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns

  • 900g skinless boneless turkey breast halves

  • 900g applewood-smoked bacon slices

  • Hazelnut Mole

  • Chopped fresh parsley

Combine first 9 ingredients in processor; blend until marinade is almost smooth. Rub marinade all over turkey breast halves. Place turkey in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish; pour remaining marinade over. Cover and chill overnight.

Remove turkey from marinade, allowing some marinade to cling to turkey. Sprinkle turkey with salt and pepper. Place 450g bacon slices side by side on work surface, overlapping slightly. Place 1 turkey breast half, rounded side down, atop bacon. Wrap bacon around turkey breast, stretching slices slightly to cover turkey. Secure with toothpicks to hold bacon in place, then tie with kitchen string to secure bacon. Remove toothpicks. Repeat with second turkey breast half and remaining bacon. Place turkey breasts on large rimmed baking sheet. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill.)

Preheat oven to 191°C. Place turkey in oven and roast 25 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 163°C and roast until instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of turkey registers 68°C, about 35 minutes. Remove from oven; let turkey rest 15 minutes (internal temperature will reach 72°C).

Cut turkey breasts crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Ladle generous amount of Hazelnut Mole on large platter. Arrange turkey slices atop mole; sprinkle with parsley and serve.

*Chipotle chillies — dried, smoked jalapeños — canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are sold at some supermarkets, specialty foods stores, and Latin markets.
