Turkey ham

Several companies in the United States produce turkey ham and market it under various brand names.

Turkey ham may also be used as a substitute for bacon where religious restrictions forbid the consumption of pork.

[3] Some U.S. producers and brands of turkey ham include Butterball, Cargill, Jennie-O, Louis Rich, Norbest and Oscar Mayer.

[9][10][11][12] Turkey ham was developed by Jennie-O and was first introduced to American consumers by the company in 1975.

[13] Around January 1980, the American Meat Institute (AMI) attempted to ban the use of the term "turkey ham" for products that contain no ham and are entirely composed of turkey, which the AMI described as "flagrant consumer deception".
