How to Make Health Club Sandwich Low Fat

  1. Prepare the bacon: Place 4 slices of bacon in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until crisp, about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  2. Toast the bread: While the bacon cooks, toast 4 slices of light wheat bread to a light golden brown.
  3. Drain the bacon: Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease.
  4. Assemble the sandwich: Lay out two slices of toasted bread side by side.
  5. Spread the mayo: Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons of light mayonnaise on one side of each of the first and third slices of bread.
  6. Layer the ingredients: On the first slice of bread, layer 2-3 large lettuce leaves, followed by 2-3 slices of Roma tomato. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Add the turkey: Top the tomato with half of 4 oz of extra-lean sliced turkey breast.
  8. Build the sandwich: Place the second slice of bread (mayo-side down) on top of the turkey. Then add the remaining turkey, followed by the crispy bacon.
  9. Complete the sandwich: Top with the final slice of toasted bread (mayo-side up).
  10. Secure and cut: Secure the layers using 4 toothpicks, placed in a diamond pattern to hold everything together. Cut the sandwich diagonally into 4 triangles using a serrated knife.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, delicious club sandwich!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
