Yea I know this is soooo pathetic but I am bored lol.

I buy Mr. Turkey bacon b/c the "real" bacon has too much fat....besides I can cook my turkey bacon in the microwave without making such a mess;)

So am I the only one that buys this stuff?:confused:

I buy the "real" kind, but its already cooked so I just have to stick it in the microwave for like 30 seconds.

Yeah, I know, I'm lazy.:rolleyes:

I don't buy it that often, but when I do, I buy whatever is on sale. I might have to try the turkey kind though. I have completely switch from using ground beef to ground turkey and hubby doesn't even know, it taste so much better and doesn't have all the fat.

Well the turkey bacon is higher than reg bacon too so i could splurge on the already cooked real bacon and still not spend any more money:D

i like turkey bacon and ground turkey. When hubby and I 1st got together, I made a meatloaf out of ground turkey. He said it was way better than his moms meatloaf and he ate like half the pan of meatloaf that night.

Thick cut real deli bacon...but only when it goes on sale at Albertsons for .99 lb. Then my best friend and I buy like 40 lbs and freeze it.....cuz it is great wrapped around shrimp or mushrooms and grilled on the BBQ....mmmmmm, ok, now I am hungry.

My husband can't. He doesn't like turkey or chicken, but he has no idea I have been using ground turkey for everything. The only difference I see is in the texture of the meat. I make tacos, sloppy joe, spaghetti, everything with it. And our store usually has it for 99 cents a pound, which is a lot cheaper than the ground beef too.

I USE BUTTERBALL "THIN & CRISPY" TURKEY BACON, TRIED THE MR TURKEY AND THE JENNIE-O, BUT I THINK BUTTERBALL IS THE BEST! AND ITS BETTER FOR MY DIABETIC HUBBY AND MY FAT BUTT THAN REGULAT BACON OR SAUSAGE!:p

I get mine from the meat locker (butcher). That way I'm pretty sure it's fresh.
