since about 10.7.3 "local" Time Machine Backups are bootable, no 
specific need of a recovery partition.

The procedure would be to format the new disk.
Put a recovery partition on to it:
<http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4848>
Install it to your Mac
Boot from Time Machine Backup (keep the Option Key pressed druring start 
up)
Rebuild from time Machine Backup
