Diet, Day 20

I've found the turkey bacon to be a little tricky to cook. First, tried nuking it. Cooked it OK, but it seemed like it was never getting "Done." So tonight, I tried pan frying it. Since there's hardly any fat in it, it doesn't fry in fat, and it really doesn't get crispy. But somewhere between when it shrinks down just a tad in size & where it starts to blacken, it's gotta be done. Only it's hard to tell when that is. Seems like it just gets kind of stiff.

Still tastes fine, though. It's not as yummy as greasy, crispy porkfat-riddled bacon, but it does have a slightly salty, smoky flavor. Actually, I would imagine that turkey jerky would be not entirely dissimilar to turkey bacon. I wonder if I could make turkey jerky with one of those countertop food dehydrators. Bet I could. Might look into it.

Tomorrow morning, I go for my next doctor's visit. Hoping to see continued progress.
