Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice the fresh baguette into ½-inch thick pieces and lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Lightly coat each slice with olive oil.
  3. Toast the baguette slices for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
  4. While the baguette is toasting, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Drain and crumble.
