Turkey bacon

I can't get it to cook crisp like regular bacon. I've tried all brands and cooking methods. It just isn't the same.
 
At home we only eat turkey bacon, and I cook it in the microwave. I always get mine very crispy (almost burnt, that is the way I like it). I actually think it gets crispier than real bacon, because of the lack of fat.

I agree. I pan fry it and it comes out super crispy.
 

Oscar Myer is the only brand of turkey bacon we like-it does come out crispy when you pan fry.
 
Microwaving works really well. If I want to render some down, I will add a very small amount of canola oil to the fry pan and that gets it beautiful and crispy brown.
 
Trader Joes is my favorite and I cook it in the frying pan till crispy. Louis Rich is pretty good too. Gotta be crispy! :)
 
I am not sure what brand I use as I get what's on sale. I think it cooks up far crispier than regular bacon due to less fat. I do mine on a griddle pan. I hate regular bacon now after having turkey bacon most of my life. Regular is too fatty for me now.
