IMO, turkey bacon is odd.  It's turkey that is ground, seasoned,
packed with preservatives pressed to form into slices.  Sometimes
smoked. Anecdotal evidence by looking at the grocery store, some
people must like it.  I suppose it is because some think it is
more healthful.  I have tried it a couple of times over the years
and sorry, it is not bacon.  The texture is weird, too.

Thanks!  I don't really expect perfect 'bacon' but decent crumbles
for use in things like topping a baked Mac-n-cheese casserole.
Looking for 'acceptable' where Don doesn't eat it all up.  Kinda
like homemade bacon-bits?

I wouldn't consider turkey bacon for homemade bacon-bits/crumbles.  I
sure wouldn't use it in mac & cheese. YMMV.

 See I have to hide the Baco-s and any that taste 'bacon-like' here as
Don nibbles them up.  I'm going to give it a small whorl to see if my
friend is right, that this store brand one tastes like something.
 Sorry, this is both to keep Don out of my bacO's and stretch a dollar
here and there.

Oddly enough, I've not noticed turkey bacon is less expensive than some brands of pork bacon.  I'll have to take a look the next time I'm at the grocery store.  Seems like with all the extra processing required it wouldn't save much money.  It *might* keep Don from snacking on it, though! ;)
