This bacon is just as salty and crispy, better-for-you thanks to turkeys, and easy and mess-free to make happen!

How to make Air Fryer Turkey Bacon
Prepare
Turn on your oven and let it preheat while you assemble the bacon slices.
Assemble
Place some of the bacon slices into the air fryer. Try to leave enough spaces for each slice, but it’s ok if they overlap slightly.
Cook
Cook until the strips of bacon reach desired crispiness. Check after a few minutes to adjust the bacon strips if they have moved a lot.
DEVOUR
Repeat this process with the remaining bacon strips, then serve and enjoy!
Top Tips for making Turkey Bacon Air Fryer
- Cook in one layer: Don’t be tempted to cook all the bacon at once. Each strip needs enough space to crisp up and cook evenly.
- Use paper towel: Place the bacon strips onto paper towel after air frying them to soak up excess grease.
- Keep an eye on it: Check the bacon a few minutes into the cook time because the air fryer can often move the bacon strips around.
How to clean Grease from an Air Fryer
After cooking greasy foods like bacon, it’s important to clean out the air fryer well. First, remove the baskets and pans from your air fryer and soak them in hot, soapy water for a little while. Next, scrub them well with a non-abrasive sponge and rinse with cold water.
Serving Suggestions
This crispy, hot air fryer bacon is tasty all on its own, however I think that bacon is best when served with eggs! I recommend some cod scrambled eggs or, if you’re cooking for a crowd, consider checking out how to cook eggs in the oven for perfectly cooked eggs!
Bacon FAQ
One thing that differentiates turkey bacon from pork bacon is that it has slightly fewer calories, making it a bit better for you.
Turkey bacon is made using a combination of light and dark turkey meat as well as skin, spices and preservatives.
You can overlap the strips slightly, but don’t stack them on top of each other. That will result in unevenly cooked strips of bacon.
This depends on how you like your bacon! I recommend cooking it for 5 minutes, then checking in, and cooking in intervals of 2 minutes after that until it reaches your desired doneness.
