Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb turkey bacon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Fold a sheet of aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet.
  • Put the turkey bacon strips on the foil and place the baking sheet in your preheated oven.
  • Bake the turkey bacon till it’s brown and crispy. This will take about 8 to 10 minutes. The sides of the strips will dry and become crunchy, indicating that they are ready to be flipped.
  • Use a pair of tongs to flip the bacon strips over. This makes the turkey bacon crunchier.
  • Bake the bacon strips for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how crispy you want them to be.
  • Wear an oven mitt to carefully remove the turkey bacon strips from your oven and serve them right away!
