Healthier is a subjective viewpoint. Both are food but the turkey product may contain less turkey fat than the bacon contains pig fat. Many people would say fat is bad for you however the most up to date research clearly indicates that it is not (provided it is natural plant oil, dairy or animal fat) and that it is the sugars in one's food that are "unhealthy".
