Oh ,those aren't MY pics.
I actually do something similar -- though not with as MUCH bacon.
The secret is to smear butter on the breast, salt and pepper and then cover the breast competely with bacon. Cover bird with foil. Half way thru cooking remove the foil, leave bacon. Then about 45 mins from the end I remove the bacon and let the breast brown.
YUMMY!!

That's kind of extreme! I did a bacon wrapped boneless turkey breast two weeks ago.

The bacon did add a nice smoky flavor to the meat. After a taste, I peeled the bacon off before serving/eating it though. The turkey had lots of flavor without actually eating the bacon. This version was stuffed with apples, onions, pears, and sage.

It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.
The overly wrapped turkey (not the yummy pictures that liamsaunt posted) remind me of this for some reason...

I could never eat that.
