Recipe: Turkey club sandwich

Dietitian's tip: Serve this double-decker sandwich with carrot and celery sticks and red and green grapes. If you don't like Swiss cheese, substitute any other variety, such as Gouda or cheddar cheese.

SERVES 2

Ingredients

2 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise
2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
6 slices sourdough bread, toasted
4 ounces cooked natural turkey breast, sliced
3 slices low-sodium bacon
2 bibb lettuce leaves
4 slices tomato
2 ounces Swiss cheese


Directions

In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise and basil. Stir to mix evenly. Spread 1 teaspoon of the mayonnaise mixture on each slice of bread.

To prepare the sandwiches, place 1 slice of bread on a plate. Top with 1 ounce turkey and 1 1/2 slices bacon. Add another slice of bread, 1 ounce turkey, 1 lettuce leaf, 2 slices tomatoes and 1 ounce cheese. Top with the last slice of bread. Place a toothpick in each half of the sandwich and cut the sandwich in the center. Repeat to make the second sandwich. Serve immediately.
