You have perfected the ballotine !!
Where do you go from here ? ?

If you wanted to get really crazy with it you could make several different types of stuffing, debone a turkey, duck, and chicken and make a turducken. \m/

why stop there, I'd go for turduckenail, just add a quail

Or a gooturdukenail and toss the whole thing in a goose..... @-)

I have done a few, they are great to serve and there are endless options for stuffing. It does get easier with practice!

Curious how the skin turns out wrapped completely by bacon..  Does it get crisp?

It looks good @GlennM‌ - What did you use for stuffing?

Thanks @PNWFoodie‌ , @johnkitchens‌ , @NPHuskerFL‌

@pwg56‌ - The skin/bacon was perfectly crisp. To achieve that, my opinion is that the egg temperature has to be at or over 400F for some time. For that reason, I avoid using rubs with a high sugar content. The one I used did no contain any but I added some Maple Sugar to it. I think that the sugar helps to achieve a crispy skin but it is also easier to burn if you are not careful.
