PRICE COMPARISON FOR 12OZ BACON (store first, then brand):
$3.29 Albertsons Honeysuckle
$2.89 Fred Meyer Oscar Meyer
$2.00 Fred Meyer Kroger brand

1. Oscar Meyer turkey bacon: This product has a real, rich bacon flavor and looks the most like real bacon.
2. Kroger brand turkey bacon: This product looks fake and is the chewiest of the three. It also has a bit of a plastic aftertaste.
3. Honeysuckle White Smoked Turkey Bacon: While this turkey bacon gets the crispiest of the three tested (if you eat it soon after cooking it), it's flavor is the most mild.

TASTE WINNER: Oscar Meyer turkey bacon
