Ingredients
- 6 slices halal turkey bacon, diced
- 1 lb green beans, ends trimmed
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
- Sea or kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey bacon and cook until crisp, 6-7 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Pour out all but 2 tbsp turkey bacon fat.
- Rinse trimmed green beans in a colander and shake to remove excess moisture.
- Return pan to medium-high heat and let turkey bacon grease heat up for 30 seconds. Add green beans and toss to coat. Cover and sauté, stirring occasionally, until charred and just tender, about 6 minutes.
- Add garlic and sauté, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Return turkey bacon to skillet and sauté for another minute.
- Remove from heat. Add cracked black pepper and toss. Taste for seasoning and add salt if needed.
Notes
Ensure green beans are fresh for best texture.
Don't overcook; they should retain some crunch.
Use high-quality halal turkey bacon for optimal flavor.
Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for brightness (optional).
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a microwave or oven until warm.
