  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Slice turkey breast down the middle and lay it flat. Sprinkle oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper on the inside of turkey. Arrange a single layer of spinach leaves on one turkey half, then top with a layer of feta. Repeat layering with spinach and feta. Fold other turkey half over the last feta layer so the filling is sealed. Wrap bacon around entire turkey breast. Place into a baking dish and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Turn on the broiler and broil turkey until bacon is crisp on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Let turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
