Once you try this cooking process for the first time, there is no going back! Fewer calories, less mess, and only 10 minutes, you can’t beat that.

We go back and forth from enjoying turkey bacon to traditional pork bacon. We love both options, but sometimes we try to be a little healthier and opt for the turkey bacon instead.

It is just a personal preference which you prefer more. But one thing I do know, either way, cooking in the air fryer produces the best turkey bacon, hands down.

We enjoy it as is, and it is a shortcut for adding to other recipes. All I have to do is pop the slices of turkey bacon in the air fryer while cooking up the rest of our meal, and then boom, done!

IS AIR FRYER TURKEY BACON HEALTHY?

Yes, it is healthier than other cooking methods.

There is already not much fat in turkey bacon, but any excess grease will drip off into the basket below.

So, this makes it a leaner option to normal bacon.

WHAT KIND OF TURKEY BACON SHOULD I USE?

You can use any turkey bacon you like with this same method.

We prefer the uncured kind because it tends to be leaner with more protein than fat. It also normally has sodium nitrates as well.

Pin

WILL THIS METHOD WORK WITH REGULAR BACON?

Yes, air fryer bacon will cook for around the same amount of time, but cooking time may vary. Make sure to flip halfway through!

Traditional bacon has a lot more fat than turkey bacon, so you may want to place it on a paper towel after cooking to absorb any excess grease.

HOW TO REHEAT TURKEY BACON

You can reheat crispy turkey bacon for a minute until warm in the air fryer or less time in the microwave.

Note if you reheat in the microwave it may become soggy.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freeze for up to 3 months.
