Turkey bacon is a relatively new creation. It's made from the thighs of the bird and has been smoked , chopped and reformed. The bacon can also come from the turkey's dark meat and has a surprisingly ham like flavor. Two strips of it contain only 2.5 grams of fat and only 70 calories as opposed to regular bacon's almost 80 calories and double the amount of fat. Turkey bacon can be served with eggs or in BLT's. It's not a good sub for recipes that call for pork bacon because it has no fat content , and can ruin the dish.


Turkey burgers are another good sub in for red meat. They, too , are a relatively new invention, and fill the need for a leaner, more healthier burger. They are only 130 calories with only 30 grams of fat while a hamburger is 160 with about the same amount of fat grams. Turkey burgers are not only eaten for healthy reasons but also for religion such as Hinduism where beef is forbidden. On the whole turkey can be just as tasty as the other. A good turkey burger is just as juicy and flavorful as a regular one with no greasy aftertaste.



It's hard to give up th efoods we love such as bacon and burgers. Yet we can switch to healthier alternatives like turkey to satisfy our cravings. These subs not only are good for us but good tasting too.
