If it says "bacon", most of us want to eat it! With a change from pork to turkey, you can still have "bacon" in your meal plan, without worrying about the fat content as much. This recipe is from the Cooking Light Cookbook of 1994.

    Combine flour, cornmeal brown sugar, and red pepper, if using, in a medium bowl; cut in margarine, butter, or other replacement, with a pastry blender, until mixture resembles coarse meal.
