Paleo Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Pecan Turkey/Chicken Fillets

Yum!
Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Pecan Turkey Fillets

Ingredients

• Four skinless, boneless turkey(or chicken) breast fillets
• Four slices uncured, all natural bacon
• Pineapple slices(I used canned in all natural pineapple juice, no sugar added)
• Pecan halves(optional and you can use walnuts or cashews)
• Seasoning of choice(all natural, of course)

Fillets being thinned out.

Put your fillets on a cutting board or other surface and using a tenderizing mallet, pound the fillets until thin enough to roll up easily. The one fillet over on the right is the way they all looked before I took the mallet to them. I sort of forgot to take the picture until I already had three of them thinned out.

Seasoned and ready to roll!

Season and place one pineapple slice on each fillet. I used Salt Grass 7 Seasoning, it's not 100% Paleo approved, but very close. It has Kosher salt instead of sea salt. You can just use salt and pepper or maybe some garlic powder, really whatever you like as long as it's natural with no additives.

My new fave seasoning!

Pineapple slice on fillet

Pull the pineapple slice down to one end of the fillet. If one end is smaller, like in the above picture, start at that end. Carefully roll the fillet up and place seam side down until all are rolled and ready for the next step, the bacon wrapping!

Rolled up with pineapple inside

Lovely bacon!

Wrapping the fillets in the bacon

Carefully place the rolled up fillet on the bacon strip and then just roll until all the bacon is around the fillet. I keep saying "carefully" because the pineapple will try to slip out if it broke while you were handling it.

Ready to bake in foil lined pan

Place rolled up fillets in a foil lined pan(I use foil to make the clean up easier). I put the extra pineapple slices on top and around the sides and then sprinkled a few pecan halves over it all. I also added a very small amount of the pineapple juice, not too much or the bacon won't crisp.


Bake at 400 degrees until bacon is as crisp as you like, approximately one hour.

Ready to eat!

I baked a pan of sweet potatoes at the same time I baked this dish. They were yummy too! Just rub with pastured butter or olive oil and bake until soft.

Love sweet potatoes!
