Ingredients for a 10 pounds turkey

½ a recipe of the Wild and Basmati Rice Turkey Stuffing with Cranberries, Apples, Herbs and Bacon
1 ½ pound of bacon, sliced
½ onion chopped
1 carrot chopped

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Put an oven bag on a roasting pan. Place the onions, carrots and celery on the bottom of the bag. Put the butter medallions between the turkey skin and meat, and then in the cavity. Stuff the cavity with the rice mixture. Secure the turkey. Wrap the turkey with the bacon slices and carefully place it in the bag. Tie the bag and roast the turkey, inside the bag, for 4.5 hours. Open the bag and carefully drain the juices into a container.
