Cajun Honey Roasted Turkey Breast

1 whole thawed turkey breast (about 6-7 lbs)
Salt
5 Tbsp softened butter
2 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 tsp dried thyme
3+ tbsp honey
4 slices bacon
1 really big onion, cut into 8ths

Preheat oven to 325^F.

Combine the butter, cajun seasoning, thyme and 3Tbsp honey in a small bowl until well mixed.

Wash the turkey breast and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle salt all over it and place on a rack in a roasting pan.  Spread half the honey butter between the skin and the meat and then smear the rest all over the outside of the breast.  Drizzle with a little more honey and then lay the bacon strips over the top.

Roast at 325^F for 2.5 hours or until completely cooked through. 

Very good!  Nice and juicy!
