Ingredients
- 8 slices Turkey bacon
- 4 sheets Paper towels
- 1 unit Microwave-safe plate
Directions
Step 1
Place two sheets of paper towels on a microwave-safe plate.
Step 2
Lay the turkey bacon slices in a single layer on the paper towels, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Step 3
Cover the turkey bacon with another two sheets of paper towels. This helps absorb excess fat and keeps the bacon from spattering.
Step 4
Place the plate in the microwave, and set the microwave to high power.
Step 5
Microwave the turkey bacon for 2 minutes initially.
Step 6
Check the doneness after 2 minutes. If the bacon is not yet crispy to your liking, continue microwaving in 30-second intervals until it reaches your desired crispness.
Step 7
Carefully remove the plate from the microwave, as it will be hot. Allow the bacon to rest for 1 minute to crisp further.
Step 8
Transfer the crispy bacon to a serving dish or directly to your breakfast plate and serve immediately.
