Turkey bacon reduces fat content while adding flavor.

Preheat the oven.

Prepare the lutefisk by cutting it into smaller pieces.

Check the lutefisk for bones and remove them if necessary.

Cover the lutefisk tightly with tin foil.

Place the covered lutefisk in the oven.

Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees.

While the lutefisk is baking, prepare the white sauce by making a roux with flour and butter, then adding salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried chopped onions.

Slowly add heavy whipping cream to the roux to create the white gravy.
