Substitute It! Bacon: Part Two

A few weeks ago, I did a segment on Turkey Bacon. I told how much better Turkey Bacon is than regular pork bacon. Well, hold on to your hats everyone, because I just found something even BETTER than turkey bacon: CHICKEN BACON!


I found it while grocery shopping a few days ago. Looking over the nutritional information, I was surprised to find that it was a better choice than the turkey version. So I bought it straight away, cooking it up the next day for the kids for breakfast.

"What do you think of the bacon?" I asked my 9 year old son, Jaron.

Jaron stopped chewing and eyed his half-eaten piece suspiciously. "Why? What did you do to it?" he asked, worried.

"Nothing!" I was quick to tell him. "It's chicken bacon instead of turkey."

"Oh!" Jaron said, looking relieved. He popped the rest of the piece into his mouth and said, "I didn't notice a difference. Bacon is bacon!"

Here is a chart I typed up of the nutritional information for pork, turkey and chicken bacon side-by-side:
