INGREDIENTS
Package Turkey Bacon-uncured turkey bacon like Oscar Mayer Bacon.
I will say, this bacon does get very hot in the air fryer, so if you have tongs like these, they can make removing the hot turkey bacon a lot easier. If not, carefully use a fork.
DIRECTIONS
STEP 1
Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
STEP 2
Place the bacon slices flat in the basket of the air fryer in a single layer. Try not to have them overlap in the basket.
STEP 3
Air Fry turkey bacon at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes, flip bacon halfway through the cooking process. Check the bacon after 10 minutes for crispiness. For crispier bacon, add another 1-2 minutes cook time.
STEP 4
Remove bacon from air fryer, then place the bacon on paper towel to cool. Repeat in batches until all slices of bacon are cooked.
I make turkey bacon in my Cosori 5.8 Quart Air Fryer Oven. Depending on your air fryer size and wattage, times may need to be adjusted by 1-3 minutes of cooking time..

WAYS TO USE TURKEY BACON
Crispy turkey bacon strips make a perfect breakfast side dish. For a complete meal, serve slices of turkey bacon with air fryer French toast and air fryer eggs.
Besides having bacon for breakfast, turkey bacon can be used for other recipes. Just crumble a piece of bacon to make bacon bits for a garnish for other dishes.
You can also use a slice of bacon or two, to add bacon into breakfast burritos. If you have several bacon slices leftover, you can use them in club sandwiches or a BLT sandwich.
Although eating turkey bacon as an alternative to pork bacon is a personal preference. If you want regular bacon, try following our air fryer traditional bacon or air fryer twisted bacon recipes. It also goes really well with air fryer pancakes.
EXPERT TIPS
I can easily fit most of the package in the basket, but depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches. Do not overfill the air fryer. If you have a smaller air fryer or round basket, you can cut the slices in half so they fit in your basket.
The first time you make this in your air fryer, check the turkey bacon every few minutes to make sure you don't overcook or burn.
STORING AND REHEATING
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. If you want to reheat leftover turkey bacon, you can microwave for 30-60 seconds, or place in the air fryer and cook for 2-4 minutes.
FAQ's
Uncured bacon doesn't contain nitrites. It technically is still cured with salt, so it's considered a little healthier, but can have higher sodium.
As you cook bacon, the grease will smoke when you cook it at a high temperature. Turkey bacon doesn't have that grease and by cooking at 350 degrees, it is lower than the smoke point so it should smoke.
The air fryer is amazing and cooking foods that are frozen. Turkey bacon is one of the foods you can cook turkey bacon straight from the freezer without thawing. Just add 3-4 minutes additional cook time, and halfway through air frying, use tongs to move the slices if they need to be separated.
