We don’t use regular bacon regularly; I am more of a turkey bacon fan. I use real bacon mostly as a recipe ingredient, such as in clam chowder, layered salad, and Zuppa Toscana soup. I also occasionally like turkey bacon on a deli sandwich or a breakfast sandwich with an egg.

The photo I am showing in this post is turkey bacon. It bakes up crispy and quickly without any mess. I line my baking sheet with foil; or use parchment paper if you prefer. You don’t even have to flip the bacon while it’s in the oven!

Cooked bacon is also freezer friendly, which I love. I only have to cook it once and pull some out when I’m in the mood.
