Always check the label before buying.<\/li><li>Start checking on your bacon once your timer reaches 5 minutes. This way, you get an even browning to the bacon; ensure to flip after 5 minutes.<\/li><li>Always cook a single layer of bacon. Overloading the air fryer may lead to unevenly cooked bacon.<\/li><li>Use your judgment as to how much time you want your bacon to take. Depending on the type of air fryer used, the temperature difference between the bottom and top could lead to a slower cooking time, and you might need to adjust accordingly.<\/li><li>Cooking times will also vary depending on the size, shape and thickness of the bacon. If there&#8217;s any question about what cooking time should be applied, always check with the package instructions.<\/li><li>Bacon dries out very quickly, so make sure not to overfill your air fryer since this may result in soggy bacon, which causes it to lose its crunchiness and taste.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-reduce-grease-in-the-air-fryer\"><strong>How to reduce grease in the Air Fryer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many ways you can use to keep your air fryer from getting excessive grease;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>1. Placing a piece of bread on the bottom of the air fryer to absorb the dripping grease.<\/p><p>2. Place parchment paper on the bottom rack. It prevents the surface of your foods from becoming too greasy. However, it does not absorb excess grease but hinders it from sticking on the air fryer basket. You can discard the parchment paper after cooking.<\/p><p>3. Use a non-stick baking sheet instead of placing the bacon directly in the air fryer basket.<\/p><p>4. Allow the grease to cool off, wipe it away with a paper towel and wash with soap and water and allow it to dry.<\/p><p>5. Some models of air fryer baskets can also be put in the dishwasher for easy and super-fast cleaning.&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"air-fry-turkey-bacon-nutritional-facts\"><strong>Air Fry Turkey Bacon Nutritional Facts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Calories: 252kcal<\/p><p>Carbohydrates: 2g<\/p><p>Protein: 20g<\/p><p>Fat: 18g<\/p><p>Saturated Fat: 5g<\/p><p>Cholesterol: 65mg<\/p><p>Sodium: 1508mg<\/p><p>Potassium:&nbsp; 261mg<\/p><p>Calcium: 6mg<\/p><p>Iron: 1mg&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faqs\"><strong>FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-uncured-bacon\"><strong>What is uncured bacon?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Uncured bacon is a generic name given to both unsalted and untreated pork bacon. The label usually states &#8220;smoked and cured&#8221; or just simply &#8220;uncured&#8221;. Unsalted bacon has no added salt, while treated bacon contains curing salts such as potassium nitrate and sulfur dioxide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, uncured bacon has no added nitrites. However, it\u2019s still cured with salt, thus considered a little healthier, but may have higher sodium levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-turkey-bacon-healthy\"><strong>Is Turkey Bacon Healthy?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Turkey bacon is seasoned like other kinds of bacon, and it\u2019s made with dark and light meat. Though the calories and fat content are fewer than that of pork, it\u2019s still bacon and thus has high levels of sodium and saturated fats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"does-turkey-bacon-smoke\"><strong>Does turkey bacon smoke?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason behind bacon smoking in the air fryer is high grease content.&nbsp; Unlike pork, turkey bacon has low grease levels, and thus it can only smoke when you set your air fryer to a high temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-do-i-do-with-leftover-cooked-turkey-bacon\"><strong>What do I do with leftover cooked turkey bacon?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To store leftover cooked bacon, put it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for three to five days. Moreover, you can keep leftover turkey bacon to garnish other dishes; simply crumble it into salads or garnish dishes like tacos, omelets, or sandwiches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-long-can-i-store-bacon-after-being-cooked\"><strong>How long can I store bacon after being cooked?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can store raw bacon for up to one week if kept wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. Once cooked, you need to store leftover cooked bacon within 3 to 5 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"do-i-need-to-cook-the-bacon-first-before-putting-it-in-my-air-fryer\"><strong>Do I need to cook the bacon first before putting it in my air fryer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No. You don&#8217;t need to cook the bacon first because cooking makes it brittle, resulting in hard bits of bacon pieces, making it difficult to cook. So, the best thing to do is to place uncooked bacon flat inside the air fryer for even cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-i-use-frozen-turkey-bacon-in-the-air-fryer\"><strong>Can I use frozen turkey bacon in the air fryer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, frozen turkey bacon can be put directly in the air fryer and cooked normally. However, you can as well thaw the bacon first then put it in the air fryer if you are comfortable working with a defrosted one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to enjoy the crispiest bacon at home, this Air Fryer Guide will ensure that you get the best serving of <strong>Air fry turkey bacon<\/strong>.
