Simple Truth Fully Cooked Uncured Turkey Bacon
What it is
This is a package of pre-cooked turkey bacon. It is made from turkey and has been cured. The bacon is fully cooked, meaning it is ready to eat or heat up quickly.

How people cook with it
This turkey bacon is a versatile ingredient for many meals. It can be enjoyed on its own or incorporated into various dishes.

To heat, place the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet or in a skillet. Cook over medium heat for a few minutes per side until desired crispness is achieved. Alternatively, microwave on a paper towel-lined plate for about 30 seconds per slice. It can also be added directly to dishes that are being heated, like casseroles or pasta sauces, to warm through.
