For some reason I was craving turkey bacon really really badly… But a pack has so many strips that I have to think of ways to cook them. Mind you, I’m not complaining… I’m more than happy to find some time to step into my kitchen. Here is a good way to use up left over bits and pieces of vegetable that you have in the veg shelf of your refrigerator after a week of cooking. Basically, you just throw any kind of vegetable together, pan-fry it with salt and pepper, and there you got yourself a hash. I made mine with a combination of regular potato and sweet potato for that nice sweet and salty balance. One think I realized was that the turkey bacon falls in when I used the thinner cut. If you want a nicer presentation, you might want to use a thicker cut or trim the it down to the height of your muffin cups.
