Preparing the Turkey Bacon
Now that we have everything we need let’s move on to preparing the turkey bacon for microwaving.
1. Start by laying a few sheets of paper towels on your plate or microwave-safe dish. The paper towels will help absorb excess grease and keep your bacon crispy.
2. Take out as many turkey bacon slices as you’d like to cook and place them in a single layer on top of the paper towels. Make sure to leave some space between each slice so they cook evenly.
3. Once you’ve arranged the bacon slices, cover them with another layer of paper towels. This will help prevent any splattering in your microwave.
Microwaving the Turkey Bacon
Now that our turkey bacon is prepared, it’s time to cook it in the microwave. Follow these simple steps for perfectly cooked and crispy turkey bacon:
1. Place the plate with the bacon slices in the microwave and close the door.
2. Set the microwave to high power and cook the bacon for around 1 minute per slice. So if you’re cooking 4 slices, you’ll want to microwave them for about 4 minutes. Keep an eye on the bacon as it cooks, as cooking times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave.
3. After the initial cooking time, carefully remove the plate from the microwave using oven mitts or a towel – it may be hot!
4. Lift the top layer of paper towels to check the progress of your bacon. If it’s not yet crispy or cooked to your liking, carefully flip each slice over using tongs or a fork.
5. Place the bacon back in the microwave and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.
Serving and Enjoying Your Microwaved Turkey Bacon
Congratulations! You’ve successfully microwaved your turkey bacon. Now it’s time to serve it up and enjoy your delicious and quick breakfast.
1. Carefully remove the plate from the microwave and transfer the bacon slices to a clean plate or serving dish. Be cautious, as the bacon may still be hot.
2. Pat the bacon slices with another paper towel to remove any excess grease.
3. Serve your microwaved turkey bacon alongside your favorite breakfast foods. It pairs perfectly with eggs, toast, or even in a breakfast sandwich.
4. Sit down, take a bite, and savor the crispy and flavorful goodness of your homemade microwaved turkey bacon.
Cleaning Up
Now that you’ve finished your meal, it’s time to clean up. Luckily, cooking turkey bacon in the microwave is a relatively mess-free process.
1. Discard the paper towels used to cook and absorb the excess grease from the bacon.
2. If there are any grease splatters inside the microwave, wipe them away with a damp cloth or sponge.
3. Wash your microwave-safe plate or dish and any utensils used during cooking.
