Quick, easy, and delicious method to make crispy turkey bacon in an air fryer, minimizing mess and maximizing flavor.

  • Total Time: 8-11 minutes
  • Yield: Varies based on amount of bacon

Ingredients

  • 1. Turkey Bacon: Any brand, thick-cut recommended
  • 2. An Air Fryer: Any type of air fryer will work

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  2. 2. Place the turkey bacon strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. Cook in batches if needed depending on the size of your air fryer.
  3. 3. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Monitor the bacon, as cooking times may vary based on the air fryer and bacon thickness.
  4. 4. Check for crispness; the bacon is done when crispy and golden brown. If not crispy enough, cook for another minute or two.
  5. 5. Carefully remove the turkey bacon from the air fryer basket and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the basket to ensure crispiness; cook in batches if needed., Adjust cooking time as needed since every air fryer is different. Monitor the bacon and adjust the cooking time to achieve the desired crispness., Use a meat thermometer to ensure the bacon is cooked through; turkey bacon should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C)., Line the basket with parchment paper specifically designed for air fryers to make cleanup easier., Experiment with seasonings like black pepper, garlic powder, or smoked paprika before air frying to add extra flavor.
