    TURKEY BACON IN AIR FRYER

    We've shown you how to make bacon in the air fryer, and have had a lot of requests to also show you how to make turkey bacon too.

    Good news, it's super easy! In about ten minutes you'll have perfectly crispy turkey bacon ready to serve with your favorite breakfast dishes.

    Air Fryer breakfast potatoes and some scrambled eggs would be perfect with a couple slices of turkey bacon on the site. Are you looking for the perfect Vegan Air Fryer Bacon Recipe? We have that too.

    Anytime I've cooked turkey bacon on the stove it's been a fairly messy event. Fat splatters all over and I have to stand at the stove and attend to cooking bacon the entire time.

    In the Air Fryer, that mess is contained in the unit, and I can set it and walk away.

    Turkey bacon is a healthier bacon option as it's lower in fat than traditional pork bacon. Perfect as a side dish for breakfast or added to sandwiches.

    WHAT TO SERVE WITH TURKEY BACON IN AIR FRYER

    Bacon is so good with breakfast, you can serve it with just about any other breakfast food.

    Try Air Fryer French Toast for a sweet breakfast treat.

    I also love making Hashbrowns in my air fryer or you could pair it with these bacon egg cups.

    HOW MUCH BACON WILL FIT IN MY AIR FRYER?

    This is going to vary depending on the size of your air fryer.

    I'm able to cook six slices at a time in my Cosori air fryer. Sometimes I will do a second batch if I need more bacon.

    Keep in mind that your second batch will cook more quickly because your air fryer is already hot. Make sure to watch it.

    HOW TO MAKE TURKEY BACON CRISPY

    I've found that turkey bacon, like regular bacon, has a particular sweet spot where it's perfectly crispy. Anything more than that and it might start to burn.

    The trick to really excellent, crispy turkey bacon is to watch it carefully, especially the first time you make it.

    You'll figure out exactly how long to cook it in your particular air fryer. Then when you make it the next time it will be perfect and you won't need to watch it so much.

    SMOKE WHEN MAKING BACON IN THE AIR FRYER?

    Sometimes when you cook things that are high in fat in the air fryer, that fat can drip to the bottom and start to burn. There are few ways that you can stop this if it happens to you.

    Add a slice of bread to the bottom of your air fryer to soak up the grease.

    Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper or foil. Be sure to put some holes in paper or foil to allow air flow.

    You can buy parchment sheets already cut to fit in the air fryer basket!

    Want to make bacon in your Ninja Foodi Air Fryer?

    This recipe was made in a Cosori Air Fryer with a Basket. The recipe should work in other air fryers.

    Keep in mind that each air fryer runs differently, it is important to check your food often.

    If you have a Cuisinart Air Fryer Oven or a Ninja Basket Air Fryer, both of these units seem to run "hotter" than most air fryers. That means you will need to LESSEN the cook time.
