As I said to Perthie (below), we never really thought about turkey bacon being "healthier" (or otherwise). :) Anyway, everything in moderation, don't they say? I think I'll stick to real bacon from now on. Real bacon or nothing! Perthie, Heheheh. You know, we never really thought about the "less fat, more healthy" aspect! clekitty, Oooh, chicken thighs used to make chicken bacon! I am intrigued! A friend of mine is moving to NZ soon - I must ask her about chicken bacon (or better - go visit her and try it myself). dining room table, Yes - when you think about turkey and pig you realise it seems ridiculous to make bacon out of turkey! Sarah, Oh well, it's all a matter of personal taste, isn't it? Angie, Heheheh - yes - the turkey bacon failed, but the eggs were great! :D Katrine, You're probably right - there was definitely no crispy in this turkey bacon. Alex, Well, I think from now on if I'm going to eat bacon, it'll be real bacon. :) Cindy, The eggs saved the day - I'd have been quite depressed if all I had was the turkey bacon. Alina, Hahahaha! Ninja turkey bacon! But not so ninja if hubby knows it's there! :D Cookie, Hahahah, SPAM would've been better! Bryan, We haven't seen white meat turkey bacon, not sure if we can get that here. laundrydays, Interesting. I don't think it would be nice in a burger, even if it were smothered in cheese and sauce and everything else. You're right, the texture, the feel is all wrong. Sue, I sure have!

I'm not a fan of turkey bacon in general. Actually, I don't like anything that tries to be something it isn't. Bacon is made from pork and that's it. As one of my fav comedians says, the turkey needs to stop emulating the other meats and just be itself. Yeah…it doesn’t even look appetizing. I’m not a fan of turkey bacon in general.

But in Singapore, Burger King uses it in place of pork to comply with the Halal food certification. When I order the double bacon cheeseburger I dont really taste the bacon anyway cos its smothered in bbq sauce, but i really don't like its texture - too tough and chewy. that’s really gross, i hate turkey bacon!

It has less saturated fat, barely any. Way less calories per slice (35) and less sodium. I'd say that's a heck of a lot healthier than pork bacon. Perthie I’m not quite sure on that.

I stick to regular bacon. The oozing orange yolk of Jac's breakfast sandwich looks divine. And it's time for breakfast here!
