Turkey BLT on Sourdough

You can’t go wrong with a turkey BLT. There are many ways you can add the turkey in. You can have it thinly sliced, shaved or ask for thicker slices. It’s really up to you and your preference. There’s always a way to enjoy your favourite foods with a healthier twist. Choosing quality ingredients is the key. In this recipe, sourdough bread is used, which is easier on digestion. The cultures in a sourdough starter feed on gluten from the flour. Some people who are sensitive to gluten can typically tolerate sourdough bread. Also, choosing quality bacon, free from additives, is a healthier choice. And, the same can be said for the mayonnaise.

Instructions

   Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread bacon strips out flat and leave a little bit of space between each strip. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until cooked to your liking. You can go less than 18 minutes. Keep in mind, the bacon will continue to crisp up when it is out of the oven.
