Density 26 · +4 vs Sausage & deli meats medianMicrowaved turkey bacon scores 26 of 100, a Low band mark that actually ranks 23rd of 60 in Sausage & deli meats, above the category median of 22. Per 100 g it posts an excellent 59 percent DV for protein, plus good marks for iron at 15 percent DV, potassium at 14 percent DV and calcium at 13 percent DV.
It is a quick microwave breakfast strip, often standing in for pork bacon in sandwiches or alongside eggs, with a typical slice weighing about 8 g. The honest caveats are sodium, high at 2020 mg per 100 g, along with saturated fat at 6.9 g per 100 g and cholesterol notable at 153 mg per 100 g, so a couple of slices rather than a full plate keeps things in check.
