Turkey BLT Sandwich For One

If you’re craving a quick, delicious, and high protein lunch, make this turkey BLT sandwich. Made with oven-roasted turkey, crispy bacon, iceberg lettuce, and salted tomato, it hits the spot every time with 40 grams of protein to keep you full and satisfied.

Becoming a mom has helped me gain a whole new appreciation for quick and easy meals. Sometimes the quickest thing isn’t always the healthiest, so I’ve had to get a little more strategic with what I grab, and this turkey BLT has become my most recent staple that I can whip up in minutes.

I use the Dave’s Killer bread and oven-roasted turkey to up the protein, and make a quick sauce with light mayo and non-fat Greek yogurt to keep things on the lighter side. It’s been my saving grace on days where I don’t have anything prepped ahead and don’t have the time to cook. Here’s everything you’ll need and how to make it!

What You’ll Need

Equipment

• Toaster

Ingredients

• Dave’s Killer bread: Or bread of choice! I use the Dave’s Killer 21 whole grains and seeds with 6g protein per slice.
• Oven-roasted turkey: This is what really boosts the protein. I use 3oz for my sandwich, but feel free to use more/less as you prefer.
• Bacon: For convenience, I use fully cooked microwaveable bacon. For accurate nutrition, try to look for bacon with ~70 calories and 6g protein per serving.
• Tomato: Any tomato you like works – I’ve used slicer tomatoes, roma tomatoes, beefsteak tomatoes, whatever I’ve got on hand.
• Iceberg lettuce
• Light mayo
• Nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• Dried dill
• Garlic powder

How To Make It

1. Make the sauce: To keep things a little lighter, I mix light mayo and non fat plain greek yogurt with some dried dill and garlic powder. Feel free to add whatever seasonings you like to customize the flavor.
2. Microwave the bacon: Pop the bacon into the microwave and cook according to package instructions.
3. Toast: Toast 2 slices of bread, then spread the sauce onto each piece.
4. Build your sandwich: Layer on the turkey, bacon, sliced tomato (season the tomato slices with salt), and lettuce onto your sandwich. Slice it in half and enjoy immediately!

Tips

• Toast the bread: Seems like a simple step, but toasted bread holds up better to the juicy tomatoes and sauce while adding a nice crispy texture.
• Pat the tomatoes dry: This helps keep the sandwich from getting soggy, especially if you’re packing it for lunch later in the day.
• Don’t skip the seasoning: A pinch of salt on the tomatoes brings out the flavor so much more.
• Layer the lettuce next to the bread: I always layer the lettuce last to create a barrier between the tomatoes and the bread to help prevent sogginess.
