I tried Turkey Bacon for change of pace , it is quite good. The brand I tried was John F. Martin. It doesn't taste like bacon as we know it , more like ham.

Strips of Turkey bacon , chopped up.
1/4 cup chopped herbs.
6 eggs , beaten
optional : 1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
salt and pepper

Cook the turkey bacon til done. remove from pan. In same pan, add eggs, herbs, salt and pepper. When almost done, add the turkey bacon. It is an open omelet.

I just can't get into fake bacon or fake crabmeat. When I want bacon or crabmeat , I buy the real stuff and it has to be applewood smoked bacon. I'm such a snob! This is the best stuff I've ever had. I only have it a few times a year but wow! I really enjoy it when I do.

Turkey bacon is WONDERFUL!!! As is turkey ham, turkey pastrami, turkey sausages, etc., etc. We also enjoy chicken sausages, & have also had duck bacon as well. And of course there's also ground poultry products, marinated turkey breast chunks for kebabs - the list is nearly endless. And there's nothing "fake" about them at all.

Since my husband hasn't eaten any red meat or red meat products in over 35 years, the advent of so many wonderful new products made from poultry has opened up a whole world of terrific (& healthier) eating for us. There are very very few dishes I can't make wherein I can't sub a poultry product & have it come out delicious.

And I also don't mind Imitation Crabmeat (aka Surimi) in some recipes. It's still seafood, & as long as it's not being touted as the "real thing" & you take it for what it's worth, there's nothing offensive about it. I've used it in seafood salad, seafood melt sandwiches, dips & canapes, etc. I just never tried to pass it off as something it wasn't.

I haven't tried other products. The turkey bacon was on sale which prompted me to buy it.
