Looks great. I look forward to the final pics and how it all tasted. I've never done this but it looks great.

That looks great. Did you remove the turkey skin?

The overall taste was great. The bird was moist and smokie flavored, the skin was crisp, and the Bacon was perfect. My only issue is it cooked faster than I was planning and once i wrapped it to rest the crisp Bacon I guess steamed itself a little less crisp. * note that for next time. * thanks for looking

No I left the skin on. It was more crisp than I would have imagined being cover with the bacon.
