Questions about Turkey bacon
Can you cook turkey bacon in the oven?
Yes. Arrange the rashers in a single layer on a lined baking tray and bake at 200 °C, turning once, until browned; begin checking after 10 minutes, as thin rashers can crisp quickly.
Is turkey bacon already cooked?
Some products are fully cooked and need reheating, while others are uncooked and must be cooked through. Check the pack; if it is uncooked, cook until the centre reaches 75 °C.
How should you store turkey bacon after opening the pack?
Seal it well and refrigerate, using it within the time stated on the pack. To keep it longer, freeze the rashers separated by baking paper, then cook from thawed in the fridge.
What can you make with turkey bacon?
Crisp it for a breakfast sandwich, crumble it over a jacket potato, or add it to a cheese toastie. For pasta, fry it first and stir it through peas and a little cooking water to make a quick sauce.
Can you use turkey bacon instead of streaky bacon?
Yes, in sandwiches, pasta and casseroles, but turkey bacon is usually leaner and can dry out or scorch sooner, so cook it gently and add a little oil if the pan is dry. Streaky bacon has 33.6 g fat per 100 g, compared with 26 g in turkey bacon.
How is turkey bacon made?
It is made from turkey meat that is seasoned and cured to give it a bacon-like savoury flavour; some products are smoked as well. The meat may be shaped into rashers, so its texture differs from sliced turkey.
