In my mind, any sandwich involving bacon is a good one. However, on this weight loss journey I have had to leave some things behind (or save them for cheat days). I found that turkey bacon, while not the same, is an acceptable alternative to the real deal.
Here's what we made the other night to satisfy our bacon craving--
This meal is simple, and superdelicious. Here's how you make it happen:
2 Slices Turkey Bacon (we use Oscar Meyer), per person
1 Roma Tomato, Sliced
Gluten-Free Buns (this time we used Udi's BBQ buns), 1 per person
Spring Greens, 1 handful per sandwich
1/2 T Olive Oil Cracked Pepper Mayo, per sandwich
When frying the bacon, I dusted it with cracked pepper. It adds extra flavor, which the turkey bacon usually needs. To assemble, I toasted the buns, and lightly spread the olive oil mayo on each half. I tore the bacon strips in half, and added to the bottom bun. Top it off with a a few slices of tomato, a handful of spring greens and cover with the top of the bun. I'm not sure it could be easier.
Looks tasty, doesn't it?
We served it with sweet potato fries tossed in chipotle chili powder and garlic powder. I gave myself half a serving as the GF buns aren't exactly low-cal.
With the fries, this meal is 448 calories. Without, it's 278. Perfect for those days when you want big flavor in little time, but don't want to get fast food.
