I have searched this site and others for a good method and recipe for Turkey Bacon (I know, why?). I have a friend who has foolishly chosen to spend a life without pork, and therefore has missed out on "my" bacon, which is pretty much Meathead's recipe with a few minor experiments from time to time.
In a weak moment, I offered to take a shot at making some turkey bacon. But there does not seem to be much out there, in the way of recipes, other than one in particular that suggests curing, smoking and then grinding turkey thighs. Once ground, you roll the meat into a log and cut it into "bacon strips". So to me, this sounds like a cured and smoked turkey meatloaf, cut up like I would for my kid.
Does anyone have any better ideas?
Thanks.
