Brussels sprouts are the star of this flavorful dish, and the smoky crispness of turkey bacon, baked to reduce fat and calories but still retain flavor. I use uncured bacon to reduce exposure to harmful chemicals. I also like to cook these in raw coconut oil, which has a higher smoking point than other oils. Make sure to wash all veggies with EAT CLEANER® Fruit and Vegetable Wash before chopping.
