Microwaving turkey bacon is the fastest and easiest way to cook it. It comes out perfectly crispy and evenly cooked.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices turkey bacon

Instructions

  • Place two paper towels on a microwave-safe plate. 
  • Arrange four slices of turkey bacon on the paper towels, making sure there is enough space between them. 
  • Place two additional paper towels on top of the turkey bacon slices. 
  • Microwave on high until crispy. In my microwave, this takes 2½ minutes.
  • Take out the microwave-safe plate. Use oven mitts, as the plate will be very hot.
  • Repeat the steps above to make more turkey bacon.

Notes

Not all microwaves have the same power output. Check on turkey bacon after 2 minutes to see if it's done. This will prevent overcooking.
Remember to remove turkey bacon from the paper towels quickly. After a few minutes the slices will begin to stick and this will make them difficult to remove.
