'''Turkey bacon''' is a meat prepared from chopped, formed, [[curing (food preservation)|cured]], and [[smoking (cooking)|smoked]] [[Turkey meat|turkey]], which is commonly marketed as a low-fat alternative to pork [[bacon]]. Turkey bacon can also be used as a substitute for bacon where [[religious restrictions on the consumption of pork|religious restrictions]] forbid the consumption of pork. However, it does have pork sometimes. <ref name="flock" /> |
