Notes
To store leftovers: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, per USDA. Reheat in a 350°F preheated air fryer for 2-3 minutes, just until warmed and beginning to crisp up again.
To cook from frozen: Cook sliced turkey bacon directly from frozen. Simply follow the instructions in the recipe, but add 2-3 minutes of cooking time.
