If you are in a hurry, reach for store-bought bacon bits. Use the same amount as freshly cooked bacon.

Southern-Style Turkey Cutlets

You can save money by buying a whole turkey breast and making your own cutlets out of the tenderloins. Roast the rest of the breast at 325°F for about 10 minutes per pound for additional meals.
