It’s time to toss out your turkey recipe for next week, because after seeing this bacon-blanketed beauty from The Runaway Spoon, you won’t likely be able to think of any other way of serving the bird for Thanksgiving.

This is the turkey. I’ve been perfecting this for many years now. I must say, it is a showstopper, and delicious to boot, because I treat it well. I send my turkey to a bacon spa. It gets a salt scrub, a bacon butter deep tissue massage, a hand-woven bacon spa robe, some time in the sauna and a little tanning to finish it off.
