Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 large turkey breasts, completely thawed leave nets on breasts for baking.
8-12 slice thick sliced bacon
1 large can of tomato sauce
1 medium onion, chopped fine
3 clove garlic, minced
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
2 Tbsp white cooking wine
1 Tbsp vinegar
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp paprika, oregano & salt (or to taste)

Steps:

1. Put all ingredients (except turkey & bacon) in a blender or food processor and blend well.
2. Marinate turkey breast(s) , in this mixture overnight (in the refrigerator) I use a deep bowl so the breast(s)are covered. * Nets on the breasts should remain during marinating and baking steps to hold breasts together.
3. Place marinated turkey breast(s) along with the marinade in a baking dish. Place thick sliced bacon over breast(s) before baking to prevent burning. The bacon also adds flavor to the sauce.
4. Bake, uncovered, in preheated 325 degree oven. How long will depend on the size of the breast(s). Anywhere from 1 1/2 -3 hrs. I always use a meat thermometer to test...it should read 165 degrees.
5. When turkey breast(s) is done, remove nets and place marinade in a saucepan, bring to a boil for several minutes and then simmer for 1 hour to reduce. This can be served with the sliced breast(s).
