Learn how to cook turkey bacon in the oven for the crispiest bacon ever - with less mess than cooking bacon on the stove. Plus, will you love how easy it is to make delicious, crisp leaner bacon with this hands-off recipe.
Spray the baking sheet with cooking oil or use my recommended method of lining with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place the flat baking rack on top of the baking sheet.
Add the strips of bacon to the baking rack, leaving 1/4" of space around them. If using pepper, sprinkle or rub that ton. Bake for 8 minutes, then flip the slices over and bake for 8 minutes more for crispy bacon (see notes below for chewier bacon).
Using tongs, remove the crisp strips and place them between paper towels to blot the remaining grease and fat.
