Diabetes 2 Friendly Product Review - Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon

People who are trying to cut back on fat in their diets are often on the lookout for healthier alternatives to their full-fat favorites. One such item would be bacon. Turkey bacon is a healthier choice than pork bacon. So if you are looking for a healthy alternative bacon this is it.


Pork bacon is one of the fattiest meats a person can choose. Fortunately, Turkey Bacon, by Oscar Mayer, contains 50% less fat than USDA data for pork bacon. This is good news for people who are partial to bacon and eggs  for breakfast each morning. Turkey bacon means that they can still enjoy eating bacon, but with a lot less fat.

Cooking instructions are very simple. If you choose to fry the turkey bacon, it will take between 8-10 minutes. The frying pan does not need to be preheated and no oil is required to fry the turkey bacon. Place the turkey bacon in a single layer and cook until it is brown.
