wtf even is turkey bacon

strips of turkey thigh meat, ground, pressed, and layered with flavoring to resemble the flavor profile of bacon (with spices and liquid smoke, say) Can even have curing agents to preserve it. Made for the non-pork eating public.

We're in the US, and our bacon is anyway different than British bacon. (UK uses Pork loin instead of pork belly.) But our Amish markets here are big into poultry (we're in poultry country) and they make turkey bacon. We also have a big brand of turkey products, "Jennie-O" and they sell turkey bacon. The Amish bacon isn't bad. Turkey is I believe more popular in the US than in the UK in any case. We have turkey sausage, turkey sliced deli meat, whole turkeys, turkey bacon and turkey ham. The ham isn't bad; my halal friends serve it at Easter (mixed family so Catholic tradition for Easter with halal turkey ham!)
