Meanwhile, return pan to medium heat; cook onion, bacon and remaining sage, stirring 3 to 4 min, until onions are softened. Add apples; cook, stirring for 2 min until apples begin to soften.

Whisk flour into milk and stock; stir into pan. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring for 3 min or until slightly thickened. Stir lemon juice into sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour over turkey in dish.

Bake for 20 min longer or until turkey is no longer pink inside and thermometer registers 170?F (75?C). Let turkey stand for 5 min before slicing.
