I also got some Turkey bacon for a recipe to try (uses them as
crumbles).  The Turkey bacon was 2.99lb and a friend says it's actually
good for crumbles.  We shall see.  It's a store brand.

Is turkey bacon any healthier?
Turkey bacon has slightly fewer calories and fat than pork bacon and can be a good substitute for people on special diets or who can't eat pork. Yet, it's a processed meat with less protein and more added sugar than regular bacon and may contain preservatives that have been linked to increased cancer risk.
 Ingredients: Mechanically Separated Turkey, Turkey, Water, Sugar, Contains 2% or Less Potassium Lactate, Potassium Acetate, Sodium Diacetate, Sea Salt, Salt, Natural Smoke Flavor, Seasoning, Sodium Phosphate, Rosemary Extract, Sodium Erythorbate, Sodium Nitrite.

I had a friend (she moved to NC to be near her son) who used to buy it. I've tried turkey bacon and aside from all the additives the texture is odd.
