Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive into making this heavenly casserole! Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped turkey bacon until it’s crispy. The smell of bacon sizzling will instantly make your kitchen feel warm and inviting! Once the bacon is ready, remove it from the pan, leaving the drippings to cook the ground turkey, onion, and garlic next. Cook until the turkey is browned and the onions are translucent. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
