Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Tongs or Fork for flipping
  • Plate or Tray lined with paper towels for draining

Ingredients

  • 8 slices of turkey bacon adjust based on servings
  • Optional: seasoning black pepper, smoked paprika, or cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for a few minutes. This ensures even cooking and crispy turkey bacon.
  • Arrange the Turkey Bacon: Lay the turkey bacon strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap. For even cooking, it’s important that the hot air can circulate around each strip.
  • Cook the Bacon: Air fry for 5–8 minutes, flipping the bacon halfway through to ensure even crisping. Keep an eye on the bacon toward the end to prevent overcooking.
  • Drain the Excess Grease: Once crispy, carefully remove the turkey bacon from the air fryer with tongs and place it on a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any excess grease.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately, or store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy your crispy air fryer turkey bacon as part of a breakfast, in a sandwich, or as a snack!
