How To Make Turkey Bacon In The Oven
Prep the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Lay bacon slices out in a single layer on prepped baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes or until bacon is crispy.
Once cooking time is over, turn off oven and remove baking sheet. Use tongs to move bacon from sheet to serving plate.
Cooking Tips
- Covering the baking sheet in parchment paper or aluminum foil makes clean-up much easier
- If you prefer crispier bacon, just add a minute or two to the cooking time
- Cook as many slices as you want, cooking time and temperature stay the same. If you’re cooking for a crowd, you could even make two batches of bacon at once, using two baking sheets
Do You Cook Turkey Bacon The Same As Regular Bacon?
Yes! You can cook turkey bacon in a skillet or in the oven just like regular bacon. Adjust time to how crispy you would like the bacon.
