Can I store leftovers, and how should I do it?

How do I know if the bacon is cooked properly?

- For a bit of spice, add some freshly ground black pepper or a dash of hot sauce.

- Ensure that the bacon strips are cooked to crispy perfection for added texture.

- If you prefer a vegetarian version, replace the turkey and bacon with grilled vegetables or a plant-based protein.
