    I just started using ground turkey for food and I like it. It doesn't taste like hamburger it is different. But I have been using it for foods I used to put hamburger in. Hubby said yesterday it was really good as meatloaf.

    Butterball makes a thin n crispy "everyday" turkey bacon that's AMAZING.
    I don't eat pork, so I can't really compare it to 'real' bacon but this is the best turkey bacon I've ever had and it's the only one that actually gets crispy *that i've tried* without pretty much burning.

    Hope that helps!

    We LOVE turkey products. Turkey burgers, turkey bacon and turkey sausage. It does taste different but we really have grown to enjoy it. Try it again with an open mind.

    Turkey is just about the same nutritional value as 93% lean ground beef. In fact, I think it may be the exact same calorie-wise. So, if you want to continue eating beef, go ahead! :) There's actually 96% lean ground beef available (I've yet to find turkey this lean). It's more expensive, but it's only 120 calories and 4.5 grams of fat per 4 oz.

    Anyways, I like turkey products, but (as stated above) all of them have just about the same caloric value as beef products. I'd rather have beef and regular bacon. (Btw, ground turkey taste very similar to ground beef to me.)

    Turkey is cheaper so I like turkey. If you are worried mix it with beef so you don't feel like your eating something weird. It's just another meat, not to be confused with a "replacement".

    That's like expecting tofu to taste like beef. Tofu dishes that are made to be tofu dishes are great, but when people are expecting MEAT, and want meat, tofu wouldn't taste good. Same with turkey.
