Indeed, turkey is a leaner meat and therefore has better nutritional values. In comparison, turkey bacon has 4.5g of lipids for 2 strips, while regular bacon has 6.2g. It’s therefore 30% less fat! Psst! Caution! Read the ingredient list carefully when choosing turkey bacon because many products on the market contain added sugars and food preservatives. Always choose the product with the shortest ingredient list! Otherwise, make your own vegan bacon with rice paper!
