When I eat turkey bacon, it's just not the same.  My first problem is that it's not as crispy.  I was having this conversation with my oldest daughter one day and she showed me how to make it crispier AND have a little better of a flavor.  Oil.  That's the trick.  All you have to do is drizzle a little olive oil on the turkey bacon as it's cooking and it will be crispier than it normally is.
