How To Make Turkey Bacon In The Microwave -- If you're looking for a quick and convenient way to prepare a healthier alternative to traditional bacon, you're in for a treat.

Ingredients 

  • 6 slices turkey bacon
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoning, optional

Instructions

  • Prepare the Plate: Place a microwave-safe plate on a flat surface.
  • Arrange the Bacon: Lay out the desired number of turkey bacon slices on the plate, ensuring they are evenly spaced and do not overlap.
  • Cover the Bacon: To prevent grease splatters and absorb excess oil, cover the bacon slices with microwave-safe paper towels or a microwave-safe lid.
  • Microwave Cooking: Set your microwave to high power. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave's wattage and the number of bacon slices. As a starting point, microwave the bacon for 2-4 minutes.
  • Check for Doneness: After the initial cooking time, check the bacon for doneness. If it's not as crispy as you'd like, you can continue microwaving in 30-second intervals until it reaches your preferred level of crispiness.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Once the turkey bacon is done to your liking, carefully remove it from the microwave. Transfer the bacon to a serving plate lined with fresh paper towels to absorb any remaining grease. Allow it to cool for a minute or two before serving.

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe plate
  • Microwave-safe paper towels, or a microwave-safe lid
