About Bacon, turkey, unprepared
Turkey bacon is a lower-fat alternative to traditional pork bacon, made from ground and formed turkey that's seasoned and smoked to mimic the flavor of the original. The fat content is meaningfully lower than pork bacon, and the protein is solid, though the texture is less crispy and the flavor less complex. Sodium is still substantial, since curing agents and smoke flavoring are essential to the product. A fair trade-off for those reducing saturated fat without wanting to give up the breakfast ritual.
