Bacon Wrapped Turkey

Ingredients

• 0.25 cups dried sage
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1 whole turkey , 16 pound
• 2 packages bacon , 12 ounce
• 2 cups water

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a roasting rack in a large baking dish.

2. 2

   Sprinkle sage and garlic powder over entire turkey.

3. 3

   Wrap turkey completely with bacon.

4. 4

   Place turkey on the rack in the prepared baking dish. Pour water into the dish.

5. 5

   Bake turkey in the preheated oven, basting every 45 minutes with juices in the baking dish, until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 3 1/2 to 4 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
