One of my all time favorite sanwhiches right here. Lets take moment to talk about peppered turkey bacon. It’s simple yet it really ups your bacon game. My favorite turkey bacon is the thick sliced without nitrates from Trader Joes or Costco. Regular turkey bacon will work just fine but it’s especially delicious with the higher quality option. I love to serve this for dinner with sweet potato fries (see recipe here) and a salad.
