Organic Prairie Introduces Organic Turkey Bacon, Putting Sizzle in the Gobble
Organic Prairie is adding more sizzle to its line of organic turkey products with its uncured Organic Hardwood Smoked Turkey Bacon. Turkey Bacon is lowfat and packed with flavor, and has no artificial nitrates.
Turkey Bacon joins Organic Prairie's uncured Hardwood Smoked Pork Bacon and full line of organic turkey products, including fresh oven-roasted turkey breast slices, uncured turkey hot dogs, frozen whole young turkey, and frozen ground turkey.
"We give customers many reasons to feel good about eating Organic Prairie Turkey Bacon," said Tedd Heilmann, Organic Prairie general manager. "It has outstanding flavor, but is leaner than pork bacon and is made without artificial ingredients.
"In addition, our family farmers give their birds room to range freely and access to plenty of fresh air and sunshine," added Heilmann. "They are fed 100 percent certified organic feeds, producing the healthiest, most delicious poultry on the market."
Organic Prairie farmers were among the nation's first to produce meat without the use of antibiotics, synthetic hormones or pesticides. They insisted on third-party organic meat certification long before federal organic standards were established and were the first in the industry to ban animal by-products from their cattle's diet. They played a vital role in shaping federal organic meat certification standards - the strictest in the industry.
Organic Prairie Turkey Bacon comes in an 8 oz. package and will be available in stores on April 1, 2008.
