To the Aussies on here, haven't been able to find Turkey bacon at the supermarkets. Do they sell them here ????

    No I've never seen it either - or even heard of it till I joined this forum.

    Sadly ... you don't buy turkey bacon in Australia. I have looked and looked ... and I think there was even another thread on it here ... but it doesn't exist. It is one of several things I miss about Canada.

    Lots of great things here in Australia ... not in a big rush to move back to Canada ... but I do eat everything on the list of "can't get it in Australia" when I go back home for a visit. And that's one of them.

    Costco had it when I was there a few weeks back, first time I've ever seen it.

    I'm in Melbourne BTW

    I have never seen it - but then again - have never looked for it! I'm sure they'd sell it SOMEWHERE. Have you googled?

    Perhaps their labelling regulations prohibit it, or maybe not

    I would check the ingredients of turkey bacon before you decide to eat it or not. I know I will never eat it.

    Bacon cannot be made from a turkey.

    You're not missing out - turkey bacon is gross and not any more healthy than regular bacon.

    I am not normally one to site "chemicals" as a reason not to eat something... but the package of real bacon usually has an ingredients list that says something like "bacon, salt, sugar" and the so-called "turkey bacon" ingredients list is a mile long. I guess they need to add all kinds of crap to it to make it sortof taste like bacon, but in the end all they succeeded in doing is making a salty, astringent tasting protein product. Bleh.

    You are not missing out. There is a small difference in the calories between good center cut bacon and turkey "bacon". But there is a HUGE difference in taste and satisfaction.

    There is only one proper way to combine turkey and bacon.

    Right?! Who buys turkey bacon when the caloric difference is so miniscule and turkey bacon tastes terrible?
