When our friends at Godshall's sent us some of their famous turkey bacon to try, we were beyond excited. We immediately fell in love with the crispy texture and authentic wood-smoked flavor. We knew that making a special Eggs Benedict dish using this bacon would be a perfect combination. This dish is easy to make, but full of flavor, and it makes an excellent main dish for breakfast or a special brunch.
