🥗Healthier: turkey bacon
💰Cheaper: pork belly
Turkey bacon is lower in fat and calories, while pork belly can be more affordable.
Cut pork belly in half, using one half for bacon.
Weigh the pork belly to determine the amount of cure needed.
Mix 56 g kosher salt, 34 g date sugar, and 8 oz pink curing salt in a bowl.
Coat the pork belly with the cure mixture, ensuring it's evenly covered.
Vacuum seal the coated pork belly in a bag.
Let the pork belly cure in the refrigerator for 7 to 14 days, flipping it every day to ensure even curing.
After curing, rinse the pork belly thoroughly and pat it dry.
Preheat the smoker to 180°F, adjusting as necessary to maintain a consistent temperature.
Place the pork belly in the smoker and insert a temperature probe to monitor the internal temperature.
Smoke the pork belly until it reaches an internal temperature of 150-160°F.
