Turkey bacon sandwich drizzled with maple syrup is the number one thing my family and I love to make. I went to Starbucks, and my eyes were stuck on their breakfast sandwich menu. I was immediately hooked. The Gouda cheese is magical. So, why not recreate some of these healthy Starbucks turkey breakfast sandwiches at home?
What Is Turkey Bacon?
Turkey bacon is made from Turkey meat. It’s a great healthy alternative for those who don’t like pork bacon. Also keto-friendly, which is a plus!! It’s a little different in taste and texture. I like to say that it’s a chewy meat with much flavor. It’s also a leaner cut of meat and lower in calories. Who doesn’t love that, right?
Why You Should Make This Turkey Bacon Sandwich with Maple Syrup?
- Keto Friendly: This sandwich is fully keto except for the bread slices.
- Turkey sandwiches are a great way to feed your whole family and stay within your calorie diet.
- This is the perfect sandwich if you want to make a sandwich with simple ingredients. It’s one of my favorite healthy recipes.
