For floppy turkey bacon slices
Remove turkey bacon from oven. Using tongs, place turkey bacon slices on a plate that is covered in paper towels to soak up any bacon grease. Enjoy!
For crispier bacon slices
Carefully slide out oven rack and flip slices over (using tongs), and slide rack back in to bake longer, cooking an additional 5 minutes or so until desired crispiness has been reached.
