Turkey Bacon Yes No



Recommended Posts

Here in NZ we really only eat turkey at Christmas. We do have chicken bacon though which is pretty much the same thing.

Yes I have noticed here people talk about it a lot! But it is uncommon here and good quality, free range turkeys are very expensive. It is possible to get turkey outside of Christmas season but it costs!

Okay I have just been reading about the nutritional benefits of turkey. I may have to track down a local supplier!

https://godshalls.com/store/item.aspx?itemid=362 chicken bacon for the USA market. Looks a bit different to what we have here (http://www.tegel.co.nz/products/Chilled-ready-to-eat/Original-Manuka-Smoked-Chicken-Bacon-200g?c=3&p=154) but must be the same sort of thing.

And I found you some roasted chick peas too http://nuts.com/snacks/chickpeas/golden.html

Have wild turkeys passing through my property sometimes. I think they would be tough, though

Free range turkeys here are super expensive too. We call them heirloom turkeys. A 10kg heirloom could cost $150+ compared to a mass marketed turkey going for around $18-25. (turkeys get pretty cheap around the holidays here.

I used to only feed roo to the dogs until I realized how high in Protein and low in fat it was. It's amazing. Great in pies. The closest thing to compare it to would be venison, I think.

I never would have guessed, but I suppose they are plentiful.

As far as I'm aware, we are the only country that has no issue with eating the animals on the national coat of arms. The kangaroo and the emu. Lol. Something to be proud of.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
