This is the best way to oven cook a turkey. I do it whith my thanxgivng and X-mas birds. Although I don't use that much bacon it isn't needed. 2-4 strips on the breasteses and 1 each on the drums. Cuz these are the parts that dry out the most. It is not "flabby" it is self based deliciousness and the bacon adds to the flavour of the bird. The gravy is wicked awesome.

Best turkey ever...my aunt has done it for years, and hers is the only turkey i eat!
