Nobody's going to mistake turkey "bacon" for bacon. It's like the vast majority of substitutes...while it may be fine in its own right, depending on your tastes, it's not really accurately aping the product for which it's a replacement. Although I love a black bean burger, I'm never going to say it tastes like or is reminiscent of an all-beef hamburger. Turkey bacon is alright in some contexts, but it's clearly a different product than actual bacon. Texture, taste, and smell are all different.
My health nut daughter suggested i try turkey bacon rather than regular bacon,
My take=
looks kinda weird,
Doesnt smell like bacon when cooking,
doesnt taste like bacon,
has a rather rubbery texture when eating it,
Has a rather synthetic aftertaste,
Yuck! inedible!
I'll not be fooled again,its gonna be real bacon or no bacon..
you wouldn't eat it if you saw how they make it. its liquefied and then extruded into the "shape" of bacon whatever that shape is supposed to be.lol
My husband uses turkey bacon because it doesnt get as messy greacy. He likes it, I cannot remember brand but its probably an off brand. I think it smells like normal bacon.
Blechk! Blechk! Blechk! Either real bacon or none at all. The other stuff is just plain disgusting.
Don't anyone bother suggesting Canadian bacon can be an alternative for lower fat bacon. It has tons of fat in it too. I cut a lot of the fat off before cooking it, and it kills me to know I'm throwing money into the trash.
I've started buying those little bags of Real Bacon bits. Prolly lots of additives and preservatives, but a few tbsps on my salad or on perogies is a nice and cheaper alternative.
The brand I had is pretty good. No, it doesn't taste like real bacon. Nothing does. If you can mentally accept that is just not bacon, then its good. But nothing beats the real deal.
It's not bacon. I wish they would stop calling these substitutes 'bacon'. Bacon was delivered to us on the 8th day. God said "Let there be Pork Belly!" and then there was bacon.
Bacon is bacon- ribbons of lean and fat perfectly weaved in the brisket of a hog. It's as if the angels touched the hog's belly while laying on a cloud. That's bacon. It sizzles like nothing else, it makes a plain tomato and crappy lettuce between two pieces of mealy Wonder Bread taste like a 5-star lunch item. Bacon transforms other inedible foods into works of art.
Get this turkey crap outta here. Fowl injected lemon juice, celery salt and pressed into some lame shape like bacon. Cheap imitator. Be gone!
