Cold Turkey (Bacon with Pimento Cheese)

April 1st draws near and my fascination with pimento cheese draws me closer to the kitchen than I have ever known.  This evening, I prepared my meals for the week and found myself admiring a few extra pieces of turkey bacon (sorry pork bacon lovers, my body simply rejects what I know is a wonderful substance and I must defer to the turkey option).  So what else to do but top these snippets with that great Southern goodness known as pimento cheese?

This could be one of the greatest ways to enjoy left-overs possible.  You have the turkey bacon on hand.  You have pimento cheese and voila.  Simply top the remaining turkey bacon slices with 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of pimento cheese and enjoy.

Although this did not make my preliminary list of 30 Ways to Enjoy Pimento Cheese in 30 Days, I admit, it's pretty darn tasty and perhaps an oversight.  The saltiness of the turkey bacon is a nice contrast to the yumminess of the pimento cheese.  I'm sure if I could enjoy full-flavor bacon, that is, pork origin, I would have thought of this immediately.  However, and sadly I'm sure, that is not the case and therefore, a possible omission based on genuine naiveté.

With less than 7 days to go, I'm intrigued by the endless possibilities and avenues to experiment to create the perfect complement of food, flavor and fun where pimento cheese is concerned.
