NTTCALR: Turkey bacon

HeyMrsPotterHeyMrsPotter member
edited February 2014 in TTC After a Loss
I hear that if you buy the right kind, this is pretty good. @RedTwizzlers and @KMW08 now have me planning to make breakfast for dinner. To go with my blueberry pancakes, I'm considering turkey bacon for dinner. But I've only tried it once, and it turned out awful. The texture was like melted plastic. 

What kind of turkey bacon doesn't suck?

    So, I literally made the same exact dinner last night. The same. Blueberry pancakes, turkey bacon, and scrambled eggs. IMO - there's nothing better than breakfast for dinner. But, I digress. 

    The only turkey bacon I've used and liked is Oscar Mayer. I think I actually like turkey sausage better, but I didn't have any.

    I cook with butterball's turkey bacon. I thought it tasted fine, it did have a different texture though, not as thin-crunchy as pork bacon.

    I quite enjoy turkey bacon. It's really crispy, which is how I like my (pork) bacon. Some brands are super gross though. I only buy Oscar Mayer. And unlike pork bacon I prefer turkey bacon cooked in the microwave. Although I haven't tried cooking it in the oven, which is my current method of cooking pork bacon.

    I like turkey bacon for what it is, but it's not a good sub for the real thing! I throw it in the oven at 350* until it crisps up. I like it better than frying it. 
    I was just going to suggest this!!

    Lurker here, but Applegate Naturals hickory smoked uncured turkey bacon is the best turkey bacon. It's made with leg meat, which makes it much more bacon-y. I put it in the oven on a rack over a cookie sheet and it comes out really well (but I also like soft bacon). You can find it at Target.

    It's all like rubber. And it's not very healthy for you really. It saves you a few calories, and has about 2/3 the fat, but has more than twice the amount of sodium and all sorts of weird ingredients in it (so can bacon; I buy bacon from a local farmer though). I'd take real bacon over turkey bacon any day.
