Ingredients
As I mentioned previously, it’s truly four simple ingredients that comprise this sandwich
- Whole wheat English muffin (toasted until warm)
- Cage-free egg whites
- Crispy turkey bacon
- Thin slice of Swiss cheese
For the English muffin, I prefer using Dave’s Killer Bread whole wheat English muffins for extra fiber and texture. For the turkey bacon, I typically use any uncured option, with Applegate turkey bacon being my go-to for flavor and quality. To keep this sandwich lighter while still delicious, I use a thin slice of Swiss cheese like Sargento’s, which helps control overall calories and fat.
How To Make A Starbucks Turkey Bacon Sandwich
- Cook the turkey bacon in a skillet or on a baking sheet until crispy.
- Cook egg whites in a pan or use an egg wrap mold for a round shape.
- Toast the English muffin in a toaster oven until warm.
- Assemble with egg whites, turkey bacon, and a slice of Swiss cheese.
- Heat for 2–3 minutes until the cheese melts.
Meal Prep & Storage
These sandwiches are perfect for meal prep and can be made ahead for the week.
Once cooled, wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap or a paper towel and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
To reheat, microwave for 1–2 minutes or warm in a toaster oven for a crispier texture.

Instructions
