I was in the mood for a BLT sandwich last night, and decided to see if I could make a low fat BLT sandwich.
Ingredients:
low fat Turkey bacon
Reduced Fat Hellman’s Mayonaise
Bread
Lettuce
Tomato
Directions:
Slice a couple strips of the turkey bacon in to 4 shorter strips. In a non-stick skillet, fry the turkey bacon over medium heat (don’t use any grease or oil). Toast a couple slices of bread. When the bread is done toasting, spread a thin layer of the Reduced Fat Hellman’s Mayo on each slice of bread. Lay the strips of bacon on one slice of bread. Cover with some lettuce, and a couple thin slices of tomato. Place the other slice of bread on top, and eat.
Very simple, and very good. Much lower fat than a regular BLT!
I saw on the news once where they said turkey bacon is actually more fatty than regular. Is that why you use the low-fat kind?

I am guessing that turkey bacon in general will be lower fat than pork bacon. Pork bacon has a ton of fat!

I didn’t even know you could get turkey bacon … I thought all bacon was pork … can you buy it anywhere?

There is actually an ongoing debate on whether turkey bacon is any better than pork bacon. But I agree with Rob, pork bacon is full of fat, its really bad for the heart.
