Air Fryer Turkey Bacon
Description
The Air Fryer Turkey Bacon recipe involves preheating an air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit before placing slices in a single layer without overlap. The bacon cooks for about 5 minutes on one side, then flipping to cook an additional 4 to 5 minutes, depending on preferred doneness—softer or crispier. After cooking, the bacon rests on a paper towel-lined plate where it continues to crisp as it cools. This method uses the air fryer to render fat efficiently and produce evenly cooked turkey bacon with minimal mess.
The recipe works well in batches until all slices are done. Serving the bacon warm complements various meals, including breakfast plates or as an ingredient in sandwiches and salads.
