I must admit, I don't much care for turkey bacon, but love real bacon. Ever since I've been trying to live healthier, I've been on a mission to find a bacon substitute that is both low in calories and doesn't compromise taste. I've tried everything, different brands, leaner cuts of ham, different cuts of meat, literally everything... and finally I stumbled upon this delight:

Lilydale Daystarters - Bacon Flavoured Cooked Turkey Slices (Turkey Bacon),

1 slice (very large pieces, about twice the width of an average piece of bacon) is only 25 calories.

This does not have the processed bologna feel that regular turkey bacon has, this is real meat! I urge you all to try, you won't be disappointed. I may even like this better than real bacon now!

    I never enjoyed turkey bacon much either.

    Last time we were shopping I found Chicken bacon.

    I enjoyed that very much.

    I eat regular bacon that is preservative and chemical free................

    I am more worried about chemicals, preservatives and such in my food than I am about fat and calories.........

    As a matter of fact, I don't count calories and I eat a very high fat diet.

    In fact, if you google the difference between lilydale turkey bacon and oscar meyer centre cut bacon, gram for gram (you have to go by weight not slices because the turkey bacon slices are much larger), lilydale is lower in sodium, calories, fat and cholesterol, though they are pretty close.
