Notes
Expert Tips:
- Place parchment paper or foil on the rimmed baking sheet for easy clean-up.
- Set the turkey bacon in a single layer onto a wire rack, allowing the heat to circulate as the slices cook.
- Use tongs to flip the turkey bacon slices halfway through to ensure even cooking and crispiness on both sides.
- Cooking times vary depending on the thickness of the turkey bacon slices and the strength of your oven. Generally, turkey bacon takes 10-15 minutes to cook, but watch the bacon slices toward the end to prevent them from becoming too dark or burning.
- If you don't have a wire rack, bake the bacon on the parchment paper.
