I've only tried turkey bacon once--and didn't like it at all. I'm thinking I should give it a second chance though. This may sound silly, but I don't know much about the stuff. Do different brands taste different/better or do they, for the most part, all taste the same? If they do taste different, what brand do you like?

I love turkey bacon, and love Butterballs. Ive tried a few others and hated them, Butterball was the one that stuck with me.0

turkey bacon is heavily processed. get the real stuff. more fat per serving but thats not a bad thing if you budget your macros right.0

Yes, different brands do have different textures and flavorings. The only brand of turkey bacon I like is Butterball. Additionally, it must be cooked very crispy to make it more bacon-like.0

I would agree -- my family hates turkey bacon and I would much rather allow for less of the real thing. I can substitute turkey for a lot of things but this just isn't it.0 -

This.
super true.
I despise pork and cannot stand the taste in any form, so I have been eating turkey bacon. Good to see that it is processed too much, I will stop buying it. I didn't like it too much anyhow. Just wanted to appease the bacon gods. :laugh:0 -
its not bacon.
Have the real thing if you need it... its not that bad calorie wise!0 -
I would just grab a low fat pork bacon. It has less calories than turkey bacon and tastes the same as full fat bacon.0

Butterball low sodium is my fav. Everyone in my family says it tastes like rubber but I can't stand to eat real bacon & all the fat on it. Makes me gag.0

I like turkey Bacon. We buy the Oscar Meyer one from Costco.
It, by no means, tastes as good as PORK. But we have grown to like it.0 -

I personally enjoy smoked turkey breast for breakfast. I buy a whole one, slice it and brown/heat it quickly and serve it with my eggs. Doesn't have the "bacon" feel, but it's a great addition to the plate...0 -
Turkey Bacon is yummy!! I love when my BF cooks is a little crispy!! MMMMM!!0

In the UK we get 'bacon medallions' which tend to be pretty low in fat.0

Personally, it didn't appeal to me when I saw it in the store. Looked processed, ground up and reassembled or something like that. I know a few folks who really like it though. Not for me.0

If you can find it, you might want to try chicken bacon. I find that the taste is very similar to real bacon. It also gets crispier than turkey bacon.0

I buy Applegate Naturals turkey bacon. Ingredients: turkey, water, less than 2% of sea salt, celery powder, maple sugar, onion powder, spices. That's it. No casein, no gluten, no antibiotics, no animal byproducts, no nitrites, no nitrates. Made from whole thigh meat and retains the meat texture. NOT pulverized into powdered turkey scraps and pressed into a slab like most turkey bacon.
Per slice (about 1oz)
Cals- 35
Total Fat- 1.5g
Cholesterol- 25mg
Sodium- 200mg
Protein- 6g
Carbs- 0g
And it is delicious.0 -
