Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole wheat sandwich bread
- 2 slices Turkey bacon
- 2 leaves Romaine lettuce
- 1 medium, sliced Vine-ripe tomato
- 1 tablespoon Low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the turkey bacon slices in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are crispy and browned. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease.
While the bacon is cooking, wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Also, slice the vine-ripe tomato into thin, even slices.
Lightly toast the whole wheat sandwich bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.
Spread half a tablespoon of low-fat mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
On one slice of the bread, place the cooked turkey bacon, followed by the tomato slices. Season the tomatoes with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Layer the romaine lettuce leaves on top of the tomatoes.
Complete the sandwich by placing the second slice of bread on top, mayonnaise side down.
Cut the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately.
