BACON WRAPPED COCKTAIL SAUSAGES RECIPES

Steps:

• Set oven control to broil. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Spray broiler rack and pan with cooking spray. Cut each bacon slice crosswise into 3 pieces. Wrap each piece around 1 sausage, securing with toothpick; place on rack in pan.
• Broil with tops about 6 inches from heat 12 to 16 minutes, turning once, until bacon is crisp.
• Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, mix remaining ingredients. Cook over medium heat about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is bubbly.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Transfer sausages from broiler pan to baking dish. Pour sauce over sausages; turn to coat with sauce.
• Bake about 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
• Start with the bacon weave.
• To make the weave, lay out eight strips of bacon vertically on a piece of foil or plastic wrap.
• Then, fold over every other vertical piece of bacon in the middle. Next, place a strip horizontally across the vertical bacon.
• Then, unfold the folded strips and fold back the alternate row of bacon that you previously left flat. Place the next piece of bacon across the vertical strips directly adjacent to the first horizontal piece. Repeat this process two more times.
• Once you finish the first half, repeat with the other half.
• Season the top of the bacon with a little salt and pepper.
• Now it is time to prepare the turkey breast. You can do this with a bone-in turkey breast, but it will take a lot more bacon. I prefer the ease of a boneless turkey breast. If your turkey breast was packaged with a net around it, make sure to cut the net off and dispose of it. There really won't be a need for the net as the sweet bacon weave will take its place. Once you have the turkey breast unwrapped and de-netted, season with a little salt and pepper. Then, wrap in the bacon. The foil/plastic wrap that you assembled your weave on will help you encase the turkey with the bacon.
• Once you have the turkey wrapped, place it on a rack on foil lined sheet pan.
• Insert a probe thermometer and then place into the oven. Cook until the internal temperature of the turkey breast is 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This took about 1 hour and 45 minutes for my 2.5 lb turkey breast. This time will vary based on the size of your breast. As always, make sure to cook based on temperature and not on time.
• Once the breast has come to temperature, remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
• Serve and enjoy!
