Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients for the Cajun spice together, run it through the blender if you like it fine. Store in an air tight jar.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Melt the butter in a pan add garlic and put the chopped spinach and sauté for 2 minutes and cool it.
- Slice turkey breast down the middle and lay it flat. Sprinkle Cajun spice, salt, and pepper on the inside of turkey.
- Spread the spinach evenly and put the crumbled feta cheese in the centre.
- Fold the other turkey breast half over the feta layer so the filling is sealed. Wrap the entire turkey breast with bacon. Place wrapped turkey in a baking dish and season once more with Cajun spice.
- Cook turkey breast until no longer pink in the centre and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes.
- Cook the wrapped turkey until bacon is crisp on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Let turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- You can also cover with an aluminium foil and do the cooking as aluminium foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly.
- Slice and serve garnished with fresh parsley leaves.
