Tonight's dinner idea came from Allrecipes user Laripin via our local newspaper. As I can't leave a recipe alone, I modified it for our tastes and my unexpected lack of tomatoes in the house :-P My version is below. We followed the poster's suggestion and served it ...

Peru Com Bacon is a Brazilian dish that I first tried at the Rodizio Grill in Colorado. Tender chunks of turkey are marinated, wrapped in bacon, and broiled to a spicy sweet sizzling perfection. This is a copycat recipe that my mom developed. I served this with ...
