    bake in oven for 12 to 15 mins at 400 spray a cookie sheet with pam spray or generic version and maybe flip half through cooking but I dont bother and its fine.
    Yes! Baking it n the oven is the best! I don't cook my bacon any other way anymore!! I don't flip it and do 350 for 20 min, but basically the same idea. I don't even use Pam. I make a big batch and reheat each mowning in the micro.
    Wow, did I really just type 'mowning'?! Lmbo!!!

    I vote with the microwave crowd! Just get a pan made for the microwave, 1 minute or so per slice!

    I microwave it. It's always crispy

    Oh my gosh, it came out perfect! I was testing different theories and split a package between microwave, skillet, and oven and the crispiest was the microwave. Weird!

    I actually like mine a little soft, and I prefer Oscar Meyer.

    I used Eating Right Turkey Bacon and cooked it in the oven. It got REALLY dark, but did not taste burned and it was crunchy.

    I microwave turkey salami in some paper towels, and it comes out very crisp.

    I eat turkey bacon almost daily with my breakfast, and I love it crispy! Although, I haven't tried microwaving it... I put the turkey bacon on a nonstick pan over medium-low heat, and flip it every couple minutes. It takes a good amount of time (my roommate calls it "60 minute bacon"), so it's always the first thing I get started. It probably takes about 15 minutes, but I've never really timed it. Plus I'm normally doing other things while it's cooking like preparing my eggs, toast, etc. The trick to get it crispy is to continue cooking it without burning it... Hence, the low heat, and frequent flips. When I take it out of the pan it still bends a bit, but after a minute of cooling off, I have delicious, crispy turkey bacon!

    I use jenny-o as well and do it in the oven. It is a FINE line between the cook time and crispy to over cooked. But i do mine crispy all the time. Just have to keep an eye on it

    I eat Jennie-o maple turkey bacon and cannot get to crisp on the pan, but microwave with paper towels seems to work. Just be careful not to burn it. I actually don't mind if its not crispy, I eat it more for the flavor than the texture. A slice or two is a good addition to many sandwich combinations.

    Turkey bacon does make a good sandwich! Especially with lettuce and tomato.

    One of the ONLY things I've found that has no acceptable substitute. I burnt the heck out of it because it never changed colors lol. Sick

    i don't eat turkey bacon but i love real bacon. I normally microwave it and it works perfectly, but it seems to get messy even if i layer a lot of paper towels to try to catch the grease....

    So today i decided to try the oven baked method on some thick cut bacon. I put it on 375 for about 22-23 minutes and it came out really good, right between crispy & chewy. kind of like jerky but with a crisp to it. i wanted it to get a wee bit crispier but took it out because the very ends were starting to look like they might start burning. i'm thinking using 350 for a longer length of time would solve that problem. in the meantime i have some of today's batch left in a baggie in the fridge, hopefully when i nuke it to re-heat it will give it that extra crisp.

    I either use my Foreman grill or the oven. Both will get it crispy, but the oven does the best job. I put it under the broiler. It will cook very fast, so don't forget about it unless you want burnt turkey bacon

    Works very well as dog treats, though.
