Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Turkey bacon slices
- 3 sheets Paper towels
- 1 piece Microwave-safe plate
Instructions
Place a microwave-safe plate on your kitchen counter.
Layer two sheets of paper towels on the plate. This will absorb the excess fat during cooking.
Arrange the turkey bacon slices in a single layer on top of the paper towels. Make sure they do not overlap.
Cover the bacon with an additional sheet of paper towel to prevent splattering during cooking.
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.
After cooking, carefully remove the plate from the microwave using oven mitts or a towel as it will be hot.
Allow the bacon to rest for a minute, as it will continue to crisp slightly as it cools.
Once cooled to your liking, remove the bacon from the paper towels and serve immediately.
Enjoy your low-fat, crispy bacon with your favorite breakfast items or as part of a delicious sandwich.
