The Best Turkey Bacon Recipes

Want to enjoy your favourite bacon recipes without the extra calories and fat? Swap out the pork for poultry and use turkey bacon! I rounded up some of the best turkey bacon recipes that are as healthy as they are delicious.

How to cook turkey bacon

There are a few different ways you can cook turkey bacon:

In a skillet: Cook over medium-high heat for about 3-5 minutes per side.
In the oven: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then place a wire rack on top. Line the turkey bacon on the wire rack, then bake in the oven for 5-10 minutes per side at 400°F. You can adjust the cooking time based on how crispy you want your bacon (for super crispy bacon, cook for 10 minutes per side).
In the air fryer: Add a single layer of turkey bacon to the air fryer basket, then cook for 5 minutes per side at 350°F.
