Turkey Bacon in Oven: Crispy & Healthy Recipe

This recipe provides a simple and effective method for cooking turkey bacon in the oven, resulting in crispy, evenly cooked bacon with minimal effort and mess.

  • Total Time: 15-20 minutes
  • Yield: Varies based on amount of bacon

Ingredients

  • 1. Turkey Bacon: Choose your favorite brand of turkey bacon
  • 2. Baking Sheet
  • 3. Parchment Paper (Optional)
  • 4. Maple Syrup or Brown Sugar (Optional)

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. 2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if desired.
  3. 3. Arrange the Bacon: Lay the turkey bacon strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the strips aren’t overlapping, so they cook evenly.
  4. 4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. The exact time will depend on the thickness of your bacon and how crispy you like it.
  5. 5. Check for Doneness: Start checking the bacon around 10 minutes. It’s done when it’s crispy and golden brown. Remember, it will crisp up a bit more as it cools.
  6. 6. Drain Excess Fat: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess fat.
  7. 7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly cooked turkey bacon!

Notes

Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Make sure the bacon strips aren’t overlapping on the baking sheet.

Use a Wire Rack: For even crispier bacon, place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and arrange the bacon on the rack.

Flip the Bacon (Optional): For extra even cooking, flip the bacon halfway through baking.

Watch It Carefully: Turkey bacon can go from perfectly crispy to burnt very quickly, so keep a close eye on it.

Experiment with Flavors: Try sprinkling it with different spices, such as paprika, garlic powder, or chili powder, before baking.
