MICHELE'S OPINION: Ok, so this test didn't turn out like I wanted it to. I bought all of the turkey bacon, took all of the pictures, recorded all of the price and nutritional info, but couldn't find the right time or method to actually cook all of the bacon to do the test. It took me so long to figure out how to get it done that now most of the bacon is past it's 'sell by' date.
I wanted to cook it on the stove top, which is the recommended method for most of these brands, but that takes lots of skillets and lots of time, and then the first brand of bacon is cold by the time I'd be prepped to taste them all. So, for this test I'm providing the price and nutritional details and I hope that is still helpful for you. Here you go:
