Way too much salt. I didn't have time to soak it for more then 1 hours or else it would be unedible

My family loved this turkey! Watch your cooking time. My turkey breast was 160 degrees at 30 minutes. Thank you, Sunny!

I made this for Christmas and it was delicious! If you are experienced in the kitchen this is a very easy recipe. The video was a great help also. This is officially my turkey for every Christmas.

I was a little uneasy about making this recipe at first, but I had 2 whole Trukey breasts, one of which I intended to use with another recipe, so decided to make this one, given the ingredients were easy to get.

I probably just let it sit in the brine for about an hour, and it turned out delicious. Everybody loved it and it is my mandatory pass ticket for next year's Xmas dinner LOL

One tip though, I used 2 whole pears instead of just one, and I used 4 bacon strips instead of just 3 per breast, but I think 5 or 6 would have been better... just my thoughts.

I made this recipe for Thanksgiving for two of us and sadly it did not turn out as well as I had hoped. I skipped the brine so salt was not an issue but cooking time was. Our oven runs true to temp but after about 30 min I checked on the turkey breasts, just to see, and they were WAY overdone. Thank goodness I looked. If I had let it go the whole 50 minutes they would have been bricks.

I also didn't really care for the way that the searing browned the bacon but the subsequent roasting did not do anything to the skin underneath.. so the skin was rubbery in the spots under the bacon. We picked it off but others might be disappointed.

Aside from that, the recipe was easy to follow and not that difficult to put together. I also used apple in the stuffing instead of pear and it worked quite well.

I am not a novice cook so I was surprised at the trouble I ran into. If you make this recipe, watch it very very very very carefully.

This is now requested in my household for Thanksgiving every year as well, it is fantastic. It can come out salty if you are not careful, I don't follow brining instructions in recipes anymore, however, because the results can be so variable, I just follow "brining basics". For this recipe I use the same seasoning for the brine, but I use a quart of water per pound of turkey breast, a 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of diamond crystal kosher salt [or 6tbsp of morton kosher, or 1/4 cup of table] per quart, and let it brine one hour per pound. I still get the same tender turkey and its not overly salty.

Did anyone else find the turkey really salty? I mean it was definitely moist and cooked perfectly after ~50 minutes but I found the salt a little overpowering. Not sure if it was because of the salt in the brine or the bacon wrap. Either way, my husband, who likes things a bit salty, told me it was one of the best things I've ever made so I must have done something right.

I made this for Easter dinner (8 people - they all had rave reviews! It was so flavorful and aromatic. It had a bit of a kick so if you don't like spicy food then cut back a bit on the red pepper flakes but we all loved it!!
