17 BEST WAYS TO COOK WITH TURKEY BACON

Steps:

• Select your favorite recipe.
• Organize all the required ingredients.
• Prep a turkey bacon recipe in 30 minutes or less!

SUGAR AND SPICE BACON (OR TURKEY BACON)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*.
• Place bacon slices on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
• Mix together remaining ingredients. If you are using regular bacon, you may want to add garlic powder instead of garlic salt. I always use the lower sodium bacon and Turkey bacon, so I feel like I can add the garlic salt :).
• Remove from oven, flip bacon and sprinkle this side generously with sugar mixture. Return to oven for 5-7 minutes, until bacon is looking fairly crisp, but not completely done.
• Remove from oven and flip bacon again. Sprinkle this side with sugar mixture and return to oven until bacon reaches your desired doneness. (I usually allow about 5 more minutes.
• Remove bacon to paper towel lined plate to use in other recipes or start digging in, being careful not to burn your little fingers on the melty sugar!

BROWN SUGAR BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Position racks in the top and bottom of the oven. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil and set cooling racks into the baking sheets.
• Using your fingers, crumble together the brown sugar, smoked paprika and several grinds of black pepper on a plate. Dredge the bacon on both sides in the brown sugar mixture, rubbing so the sugar adheres. Arrange the slices on the racks without touching.
• Bake until the bacon is crisp and caramelized, flipping the slices and rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom halfway through, about 20 minutes total. Let the slices cool on the racks, turning once or twice so they don't stick.

BACON-WRAPPED TURKEY ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set a wire rack on a baking sheet.
• Lay 1 turkey breast smooth-side down on a cutting board. There will be a thin side and a thick side. At about the midway point between them, slice horizontally into the thick side to within 2 inches of the outer edge so that you can open that side like a book and have 1 long piece. Pound the turkey with a mallet to an even thickness of about 1 inch. Repeat with the remaining breast.
• Place a large piece of parchment on a work surface. Arrange 12 slices of bacon horizontally on the parchment in 6 lines, with 2 slices of bacon slightly overlapping per line. Arrange the 6 lines so they are touching but not overlapping, with the ends lining up to form a rectangle. Working with the remaining 9 slices, weave the bacon in an over-under pattern by lifting alternating slices of the horizontal bacon lines and vertically placing a slice of bacon over or under as needed to create a woven lattice design.
• Place the turkey breasts horizontally on the bacon, overlapping slightly. Scoop the stuffing into the center of the turkey. Holding the bacon and turkey, roll them up away from you, making sure the roll ends up seam-side down. (Use the parchment to help you keep the bacon and turkey together as you roll.) Tie with twine in 3 spots across the roll and once lengthwise. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until the internal temperature registers 155 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 1 hour 40 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Slice and serve with the gravy and cranberry sauce.

BACON WRAPPED BROWN SUGAR BOURBON TURKEY

Steps:

• 1. Rinse turkey breast off and pat dry.
• 2. Mix spices with butter to make a soft paste.
• 3. Smear spice mix onto turkey breast. You can put the paste under the skin if you prefer, this will make the flavor stronger though.
• 4. Wrap each slice of bacon around the breast, tucking the edges under.
• 5. You want to cover the entire top of the breast, so more or less bacon is fine.
• 6. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and roast for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• 7. Remove foil and allow turkey breast to roast until bacon is crisp.
• 8. Allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before slicing. You can remove bacon before slicing, or you can slice with the bacon on it. Enjoy!

BROWN SUGAR BACON

Steps:

• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and preheat oven to 425.
• Lay bacon on paper and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake 10 minutes then drain fat from pan (carefully!).
• Bake 5 to 10 minutes more, until it's as crisp as you like.

GINA'S BROWN SUGAR BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Mix brown sugar, cayenne, and black pepper together in a medium bowl. Add bacon and toss.
• Line a baking sheet with a wire rack and lay bacon on the rack. Pat any remaining spice mixture on the bacon. Put the baking sheet on the top rack of the oven and bake until crisp, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven to a serving dish and let cool slightly before serving.

BROWN SUGAR BACON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large plastic zip-top bag, combine brown sugar and mustard. Add bacon and toss to coat.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a cooling rack on the lined baking sheet. Put bacon on rack and roast in oven for 20 minutes. Let drain for a few minutes on the rack and serve.

CANDIED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Put bacon slices in a bowl, season them with pepper and toss with the brown sugar. Cover a baking sheet with parchment or foil and arrange the bacon in a single layer on top. Sprinkle any sugar left in the bowl over the bacon. Top with another layer of parchment or foil and top it, squarely, with another baking sheet. The baking sheet will flatten the bacon as it cooks.
• Place the tray in the center of the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Check the bacon by lifting the top tray and parchment. If it is not golden brown and fairly crispy, resist the temptation to turn up the oven temperature, and cook it for 10 to 15 minutes longer. Check it again. Keep in mind that when you remove the tray and transfer the bacon to a serving platter or individual plates, the bacon will "crisp" up a little more. Be patient!

BROWN SUGARED TURKEY BACON

Steps:

• Arrange bacon in a single layer in an aluminum foil-lined broiler pan coated with cooking spray.
• Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and pepper.
• Bake at 425 for 14 to 18 minutes or until done.
• Serve immediately.

BROWN SUGAR BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Line a baking pan with parchment paper and lay the bacon out side by side, overlapping just a bit, if necessary, to fit the whole package on the pan. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and place the pan on the top rack of the oven. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until the bacon is nicely browned and slightly crispy.* Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

CANDIED BACON BROWN SUGAR BACON

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with foil. (Use non-stick foil or spray the foil with cooking spray if you want to make your life a lot easier!).
• Preheat oven to 275°F.
• Put brown sugar on a plate. (I don't really measure the brown sugar.) Place a slice of bacon on the brown sugar, patting to help the brown sugar adhere to the bacon, coating both sides. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with rest of the pound of bacon. Sprinkle any remaining brown sugar over the bacon.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Carefully pour off grease. Bake for 10 more minutes. Pour off grease again. Check bacon every 5-7 minutes until browned to your desired crispness, pouring off grease as necessary.
• Let cool slightly and remove to a lightly buttered plate to cool completely. (If it you let it cool completely on the baking sheet, it can be very difficult to remove.)
• We prefer to chill ours for a few hours before eating it. It enhances the flavors vs. eating it room temperature.
