    is there really a difference between turkey bacon and regular bacon???

    sometimes we make breakfast for dinner, and I was told turkey bacon had less fat and stuff like that..

    Yeah, there's a difference. Turkey bacon is made from turkey and regular bacon is made from pork. Pork comes from pigs, and pigs are not turkeys.


    Most (not all) turkey bacon has less fat then regular bacon.

    Turkey bacon has only 3g Fat per slice. Much better than 'normal' bacon.

    Suga.. the huge diffrence between turkey and prok is the amount of saturated fat in pork.. just my 2 cents.. and send my regards to coldstone.

    Here's the difference - turkey bacon tastes like cardboard and regular bacon tastes great.

    if you are going to eat bacon, you might as well eat the good stuff. turkey bacon imo is a sorry excuse for bacon! pork is the only way to go. with fat fried to a crisp. geez bacon is my kryptonite. hell if bacon was a super supplement i'd outdo flex wheeler anyday!
