Turkey BLT Waffle Sandwich

Ingredients

• ½ cup whole wheat flour
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 ¼ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 1 cup buttermilk (can substitute with whole milk)
• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
• 6 slices deli turkey
• 6 slices crispy bacon
• 1 tomato, thinly sliced
• 4 leaves lettuce (I like bibb or romaine)

Instructions

• Pre-heat waffle maker to medium-high heat.
• In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, sugar baking powder, and salt.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla.
• Pour wet ingredients into bowl with dry ingredients and whisk until just combined, taking care not to over-mix.
• Spray waffle iron with baking spray. Cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions (I pour about ⅓ cup of batter into each well of waffle maker cook with the lid closed for about 5-6 minutes, until waffles are golden brown and crispy). Let waffles cool before making sandwiches.
• Spread ½ Tbsp mayonnaise onto each waffles (you can use more or less depending on your mayo preferences).
• Break bacon strips in half and divide them between two waffles. Top with deli turkey, tomatoes, lettuce and sandwich together with remaining waffles. Slice and serve!

Notes

• Note that these waffle sandwiches are large and if you’re serving them with snacks and sweets, a half a sandwich is probably enough for lunch.
• You can double or triple waffle recipe and freeze any leftovers. To freeze, let waffles cool completely and then place them in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Keep in freezer until waffles are frozen and then place them in individual bags (this prevents waffles from freezing together or to bags).
