I tried this exactly as the recipe stated, and hated the marinade. Crazy salty, even though I used Kikkoman's lower sodium soy sauce. And the taste of soy was overpowering. I couldn't figure out how to salvage it, so I threw it out and did something entirely different with the tenderloins. So glad I tasted the marinade before putting it on the meat. This is one of those very rare times that I have a significant difference in opinion from the majority reviewers. I was counting on this recipe's working for me, b/c I was serving it to guests. Oh, well! Still glad I tried it.

What did I do wrong? I'm an accomplished cook, and made these as the recipe states. The bacon didn't cook, even after more than 90 minutes in my oven (it's not broken and I check the temperature accuracy regularly and often). I had to finish off the bacon by putting the potatoes in a hot fry pan, which took another 10 minutes. Crazy! And the end result wasn't worth it. No thanks! I'll separately make bacon to go with my conventionally made baked potatoes. This was not good. Big waste of time.

This finished for me in five hours, and it was very dry; so maybe 4.5 or 4 hours wuld have done it. Beyond the dryness, the flavor was not so good. Too salty, too onion-y, not like the turkey breasts I've enoyed before. Not making this again. And if you DO make it, audition it before Thanksgiving; I wish I had. This was the turkey I served on The Big Day, and it was lacking. My husband thought it was ok, but full disclosure: he eats anything.
