    Turkey and chicken bacon is NOT bacon. They are simply Turkey and Chicken jerky.

    Only PORK can be called bacon.


    I will ONLY eat real BACON. If you are a man and eat turkey/chicken 'bacon', you need more testosterone.

    If you are a woman and eat turkey/chicken 'bacon', we cannot kiss anymore.

    Bacon is God's bookmark.

    Exactly! Eating Turkey Jerky and calling it bacon is like eating a chunk of tofu molded to look like steak and calling it steak.

    I eat 2 strips of turkey bacon everyday. I'll eat pork bacon once in a blue moon.

    Please don't hit me with a bat when I say this but I don't see the big deal about pork bacon.

    I am absolutely amazed that you haven't been hit with the bat YET! :wink:

    If I'm going to have bacon I prefer the Irish style (rashers). It's kinda like Canadian bacon, but not as salty.

    Turkey bacaon all day. It is so much better for you plus it doesn't taste to bad. I think I might like it's flavor better than guilty regular bacon.

    my sentiments exactly...could have said it better myself (thats because I have a piece of turkey bacon in my mouth)

    I'm not sure what turkey bacon is - good old plain, simple, original back bacon (can't be doing with that streaky stuff) for me!!

    I like both, real is better though.

    Turkey. I love it. And for those of you complaining it's hard to cook... Try the microwave. It cooks up beautifully and crispy without burning.

    If I eat regular bacon it has to be cooked super crispy. Regular bacon just seems so greasy after eating Turkey bacon now.

    That being said, I LOVE BACON!!!

    Real bacon, because we eat it about twice a month. We eat low sodium bacon and cook it in the microwave so it isn't so salty.

    I don't mind the taste of turkey bacon, but I can't stand the smell of it so I just don't cook it.

    But when it comes to sausage, we prefer turkey sausage.
