12 Dove Breast Fillets
1/8 cup Soy Sauce
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1 sm/med Onion, finely sliced
1+ Clove Garlic, minced
Salt to taste
Fresh ground black pepper to taste
12 strips Bacon
Season fillets with salt and pepper and marinate in soy, oil, onion & garlic four (4) hours.
Wrap fillets with bacon and secure with toothpick. Grill over high heat for 7 - 9 minutes, turning as needed. Alternatively, bake in shallow dish with bacon strips on top at 350 deg (f), for 30 minutes. Important not to overcook dove or it becomes dry and liver-like. Serve hot over sticky rice or with grilled veggies.

Julie, do you actually make a true fillet and separate the meat from the breast bone prior to cooking?

When we are grilling them wrapped in bacon and skewered with a toothpick, I like to have them filleted off the breast bone, it makes a nifty wrapped morsel. Whereas, when I am doing them in the oven I ususally place the whole breast, keel up, in a 9×9 pan and lay bacon strips over the top.
