Plastic wrap in the oven? Really?
Hello fellow 52ers. I am interested in preparing my turkey breasts as described in this recipe from the NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com.... However, I'm a bit concerned about the direction to wrap the breasts in plastic wrap and put them in the oven. Does anyone else have experience with this technique? Will I kill my guests with cooked plastic in the turkey? Thanks in advance for your help!

I would probably just wrap the meat in parchment and then in the foil.
I have used a few times in the past and it works!
Also cuts the cooking time quite a bit.

My recommendation? Unless you have service grade plastic, I'd just omit it from the recipe altogether. The intent of the plastic is to seal in moisture, and if you carefully wrap it with aluminum foil, the plastic shouldn't be needed.
