Most people are familiar with bacon (ya think?!). And most have heard of this turkey "bacon" stuff, too. Bacon lovers are usually skeptical, and I honestly can't blame them. Bacon is a prized ingredient in many cultures, recipes and especially, for men and sporting event watch parties. In fact, my mouth is watering and the thought of yummy, crispy bacon.
So, TURKEY bacon. Let's talk about turkey bacon compared to the "real" stuff. Some people argue that if you get a high quality center cut kind of real bacon, that the difference is negligible. Perhaps that truth is somewhat true. But, read the nutrition label... the fact is, turkey bacon has less fat. Less fat is good, so I vote TURKEY BACON!
Bacon of any sort can be a mess and a pain to cook, especially in larger portions at a time. Well, messy and a pain no more! Healthy: Yum-E has got a solution!
Oven Roasted Turkey Bacon
1 package turkey bacon
1-2 t. freshly cracked black pepper
your largest sheet pan, or 2 not so large ones
Lay out your bacon evenly on your sheet pan (or sheet pans); make sure they are in one layer with no overlapping bacon. Sprinkle every piece with some freshly cracked black pepper - Yum-E! [I love pepper]. Roast at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until cooked to crisp. I like my bacon with extra crisp, and even slightly burnt edges. Cooks yours according to taste. Don't walk too far away... it could burn more than on the edges rather quickly. Your ears and nose will help you mind your bacon :)
Serve immediately.
I use Jennie-O brand turkey bacon - nutritional info per 2 slices pictured below
