Ingredients
- 6 pieces Turkey bacon slices
- 3 sheets Paper towels
- 1 piece Microwave-safe plate
Directions
Step 1
Place a microwave-safe plate on your kitchen counter.
Step 2
Layer two sheets of paper towels on the plate. This will absorb the excess fat during cooking.
Step 3
Arrange the turkey bacon slices in a single layer on top of the paper towels. Make sure they do not overlap.
Step 4
Cover the bacon with an additional sheet of paper towel to prevent splattering during cooking.
Step 5
Place the plate in the microwave. Set the microwave to high and cook the bacon for 4 minutes. Cooking time may vary based on microwave wattage, so adjust accordingly if needed.
Step 6
After cooking, carefully remove the plate from the microwave using oven mitts or a towel as it will be hot.
Step 7
Allow the bacon to rest for a minute, as it will continue to crisp slightly as it cools.
Step 8
Once cooled to your liking, remove the bacon from the paper towels and serve immediately.
Step 9
Enjoy your low-fat, crispy bacon with your favorite breakfast items or as part of a delicious sandwich.
