Candied Maple Bourbon Turkey Bacon

Instructions:

10 slices turkey bacon

1 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons maple syrup

2 tablespoons bourbon

Directions:

  • Prepare the grill (or) oven to cook indirect at 350°F.

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then spray with vegetable spray. Lay the turkey bacon slices on the sheet in a single layer.

    • 10 slices turkey bacon

  • In a medium bowl combine

    • 1 cup brown sugar

    • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

    • 2 tablespoons bourbon

  • Spoon the mixture over the bacon dividing it evenly among the slices. With the back of the spoon or a brush spread it evenly.

  • Place the baking sheet on the grill or in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the bacon is browned and caramelized. Remove from the grill/oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate and drizzle the syrup from the pan over the top.

  • Serve immediately warm, or let cool and serve at room temperature.

  • For an extra kick, add a small pinch cayenne pepper to the sauce.
