Instructions
-
Cook the turkey bacon: Begin by microwaving the turkey bacon to your preferred level of crispness. Typically, 1-2 minutes on high will give a crispy result, but adjust based on your microwave’s strength.
-
Soak up excess grease: Once the bacon is cooked, place it on a paper towel to absorb any excess grease. This step keeps the sandwich from being too greasy and adds a crisp texture to the bacon.
-
Prepare the bread: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on both slices of bread. This will add creaminess and help bind the sandwich together.
-
Assemble the sandwich: On one slice of bread, layer the lettuce, tomato slices, and the crispy turkey bacon. Make sure to evenly distribute each ingredient for a balanced bite.
-
Complete the sandwich: Place the second slice of bread on top and press down gently. Slice the sandwich in half for easier handling.
Serving Suggestions:
This sandwich is perfect on its own, but can also be served with a side of pickles or chips for an extra crunch. It’s also a great addition to a light salad for a more filling meal.
