I missed BLTs so I looked in Trader Joe's for a healthier alternative to bacon. I went through about 5 products and found their turkey bacon which has no added nitrities or nitrates and decided to try it out on the family in the form of a BLT. Despite some initial skepticism, they all tasted it and said it was a keeper. Yes, another gourmet TJ's sandwich to offer to the mix.
Ingredients:
- Trader Joe's whole wheat bread, toasted or fresh whole grain bread sliced and toasted
- Trader Joe's uncooked turkey bacon
- Trader Joe's fresh plum tomatoes or other variety
- Trader Joe's Boston lettuce
- Mayonnaise or nayonnaise
- salt and pepper
- Cook 2 slices of turkey bacon per sandwich in a skillet over medium heat, turning frequently and remove when the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp. Drain on a paper towel lined plate.
- Clean and slice one tomato per sandwich. Clean and dry lettuce and remove any tough veins.
- Assemble sandwiches by spreading a thin layer of mayonnaise on both sides of bread, placing sliced tomatoes on one side and sprinkling with salt and pepper, layering on the bacon and then the lettuce and covering with the second slice of bread. Cut in two and serve with sandwich pickles.
