Ingredients
1 boneless skin-on turkey breast

1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
1. Place the turkey breast skin-side down and pound to 1/2-inch thickness.
2. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, spinach, feta, garlic, and bacon. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Spread the filling over the turkey and roll it up tightly, skin side out. Tie with twine.
4. Preheat oven to 375°F. Place turkey in a baking dish, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle thyme.
5. Roast for 60–75 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165°F.
