The history of Spicy Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf with turkey bacon traces back to the fusion of traditional meatloaf with a modern twist. This dish gained popularity as a healthier alternative to the classic bacon-wrapped meatloaf. Renowned chefs across the United States, particularly in the Southern and Midwestern regions, have put their own spin on this dish, incorporating spicy seasonings and substituting regular bacon with turkey bacon for a leaner option.
