Do you love bacon, but don’t love the extra fat and grease that it adds to your diet? Well I have a solution for you! I swap out  Bacon for Turkey Bacon, and instead of cooking it in a greasy pan, I cook the bacon slices between paper towels in the microwave. You will still accomplish a crispy piece of tasty bacon, but without the fat and grease!

How to cook Turkey Bacon, FAST and EASY!

What you need:

3-4 Slices Turkey Bacon

3 Paper Towels

1 Microwave

What to do:

1- Place 2 paper towels on top of each other.

2- Arrange turkey bacon slices on the paper towel so they are not touching.

3- Place 1 paper towel lightly over the bacon slices.

4- Transfer bacon and paper towels to the microwave.

5- Cook in 30 second increments, checking on bacon after each 30 seconds. Allow bacon to rest for 15 seconds between cooking increments. Cook until bacon has reached desired crispiness. (About 6 sets of 30)

6- Allow to stand for 30 seconds before using.

Please remember that cooking times will vary with microwaves, so keep an eye on your bacon to be sure it does not burn.

I hope that this fast and easy trick to cooking crispy bacon in the microwave will help you not only still be able to enjoy bacon, but also speed up the cooking process.

Also, I do need to give my mom some credit for this one, as she is the one who introduced this trick to me!! Thanks Momma!
