    This turkey bacon sandwich is inspired by the Starbucks turkey bacon sandwich. Made with turkey bacon, cheddar and egg whites, it's a protein-packed breakfast sandwich that's also delicious for dinner!

    Whether you eat this turkey bacon sandwich for breakfast or dinner, it will end up being your favorite way to eat turkey bacon.

    Salty bacon, melted cheese, fluffy egg whites and a whole wheat English muffin make this sandwich both satisfying and healthy-ish.

    Inspired by a Starbucks turkey bacon sandwich, you can make this breakfast sandwich with exactly the same ingredients or use the suggested substitutions.

    Ingredients & Substitutions

    ingredients for this recipe, including turkey bacon, english muffins, cheddar cheese and egg whites

    Turkey bacon: Follow my recipe "How to Bake Turkey Bacon" for perfectly cooked turkey bacon. You can also use regular pork bacon. For an entirely different but equally delicious sandwich, use plant-based breakfast sausage.

    English muffin: Choose either whole wheat or white English muffins.

    Cheddar cheese: The Starbucks sandwich uses low-fat sliced white cheddar (personally, I always prefer full-fat cheese). For convenience, you can use either pre-sliced or grated Cheddar. Or, use another type of cheese like Monterey jack, pepper jack, sliced Swiss or Gruyere.

    Egg whites: Using only egg whites keeps this sandwich light and fluffy. You can separate whites and yolks from eggs or buy liquid egg whites. You can also make this sandwich using the entire egg, if that's your preference.

    • Author: Jenny - Kitchen Skip
    • Prep Time: 5
    • Cook Time: 15
    • Total Time: 20 minutes
    • Yield: 2 sandwiches 1x
    • Category: Chicken and Turkey
    • Method: Saute and toast
    • Cuisine: American

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 English muffins, split
    • 4 slices of turkey bacon
    • 4 egg whites or ¾ cup liquid egg whites
    • 2 to 4 slices of cheddar cheese or ½ cup grated cheese
    • Butter or olive oil, for frying the egg whites and spreading on the English muffins

    Optional ingredients: chives, other fresh herbs, green onion, red onion, red pepper flakes

    Instructions

    1. First, cook the turkey bacon. This recipe, “how to bake turkey bacon” also includes instructions for pan-frying, microwaving or using an air fryer to cook the bacon.
    2. When the bacon is cooked, heat a teaspoon of butter or oil in a small non-stick pan over medium heat.
    3. Add the egg whites to the pan. Let the egg whites set for about 10 seconds, then use a spatula to gently scramble the egg whites. Keep the heat on medium or medium-low so that the egg whites don't cook too quickly. When completely cooked, the egg whites should be soft and fluffy and no longer watery.
    4. You can flavor your egg whites if you want - add chives, green onion, red pepper flakes, red onion or fresh herbs.
    5. You can add grated cheddar as the egg whites cook, or wait until the egg whites are mostly cooked but still a little bit watery and add sliced cheese.
    6. If using sliced cheese, turn off the heat and put a lid over the pan once you lay the slices over the egg whites. Let the pan set for about 1 minute, until the cheese is melted.
    7. Toast your English muffins.
    8. Spread butter or drizzle olive oil on the toasted English muffin. Add the egg white with cheese, then the turkey bacon.
