    Turkey is my favorite kind of meat. Love the bacon, hotdogs, ground, patties, slices and the whole bird. The key with turkey is keeping it moist. But really I didn't know people could hate turkey bacon. My favorite, possibly over real bacon.

    It's better to just eat 2 slices of delicious real bacon and enjoy it. It's on 70 cals for 2 slices of oscar mayer. admittedly, the slices are very thin!

    I bought some turkey bacon. Just the thought of it grosses me out (as does ground turkey meat). I keep hoping that the part of me that hates to waste money and wants to get healthy, will overpower the part of me that is completely grossed out by it. The expiration date on the bacon is quickly approaching. I just don't think I can do it.

    "turkey" and "bacon" do not go together. ever.

    make some gucamole and crumble it in
    or in mac and cheese. dont eat it alone,
    eat it with something else more promanant to ease yourself in
    just cook and crumble...maybe even on top of a salad

    Nothing is wrong with pork bacon. I wasn't giving it up for religious reasons. I just wanted a lower calorie option. I'm such a weirdo. The thought of eating it just bothers me. It doesn't look right. lol. I like deli meat turkey, turkey legs, etc... I want to want to eat the bacon, but alas.........nope.

    You guys had some great suggestions though. I'll let you know if I brave it.

    I LOVE turkey bacon. I like real bacon too, but most of the time I find it too greasy. The key to turkey bacon is do not microwave it. Yuck. I fry it up on the stove with fresh ground pepper until it is crisp (yes, it does get crisp before it burns, at least the kind I use does). It is delicious. Both my husband and my two boys now prefer turkey bacon to the real thing.

    However, I also love ground turkey. I think it is more flavorful than beef and when prepared properly it is delicious. If your turkey bacon or ground turkey are dry you're doing it wrong.

    I think turkey bacon is pretty good. Give it a try you just might like it.
    Agreed. But then, I don't eat pigs.

    Just eat the real stuff!
    Pretty much. Turkey Bacon has to be one of the biggest health scams.

    Why buy it if you don't want to eat it?
    Eat a piece of real bacon instead and factor in the calories in your daily allowance. It's nothing more than that.

    Turkey bacon isn't healthier for you at all. It actually has less nutrients than real bacon but even if it was some sort of super food there's no reason you need to eat food you don't like.

    I enjoy it. It's not the real thing, but it will do for now. Till I hit AC level and hit what ever the **** I want.

    Okay so turkey bacon doesn't have a lot of fans out there. But what about turkey sausage. I love it, especially the breakfast links. Then again I haven't had pork in 20 years and really don't remember what it tastes like, so what do I know.

    Turkey Sausage is addicting. I eat it at least twice a week.

    It tastes great when you mix it with ground turkey and parmesan, garlic and make meatballs out of them. I prefer taking the casing off and then adding powders to make it taste as close to chorizo as possible.
