Eat Right!

Bring on the Bacon!

I'm so excited to be working with Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon! If you love eating bacon, here's a recipe swap idea to try: turkey bacon (such as Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon). It's good as an ingredient or in recipes — and at any time of the day. You'll enjoy the bacon flavor you love while staying on track with a sensible weight management plan.

For a tasty dish you can serve right from the pan, try the flavorful, calcium-rich Easy Cheesy Frittata. It's sure to become a family favorite — and the best part? It's simple to make, but looks like you spent hours in the kitchen!
