Cheesy Tuna BLT makes 4 servings.

The ingredients for Cheesy Tuna BLT are:

2-2 oz cans albacore tuna in water, gently drained
2 T chopped dill pickles or relish
1/4 tsp dill weed or more to taste
1/2 tsp yellow mustard or mustard of your choice
1/2 T plain nonfat yogurt
1/2 T mayonnaise
pepper
8 slices whole-grain bread
2 oz extra sharp cheddar cheese
4 slices turkey bacon
4 leaves Romaine lettuce
8 slices tomato

Here is how you make Cheesy Tuna BLT:

In large skillet, cook turkey bacon over medium heat until done, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.Drain the tuna gently, removing the excess water but not pressing the tuna dry. Mix tuna, pickles, dill, yogurt, mayo, mustard, and pepper in bowl. You can make the tuna salad ahead and chill to mix the flavors if desired.When bacon is finished cooking, remove from the pan. Rinse the pan and put it back on the stove over medium-low heat. Place 4 slices of bread in pan (or however many slices can fit easily). Cook until bread is toasted on the bottom, 2-3 minutes. Flip bread, sprinkle each slice with 1/2 oz cheese. Cook until cheese just starts melting, then turn off heat and let cheese finish melting, about a minute or so. You can cover the pan to speed up the process. Remove bread from pan. Repeat process with last four slices of bread, omitting cheese. (If you want to use a toaster to do this, that's fine, I just prefer my bread pan-toasted. Just sprinkle the cheese on the bread as soon as it comes out of the toaster.) Lay lettuce leaves, folded or broken in half, on the four slices of cheese toast. Top each slice with 3 T tuna salad mixture, one slice of bacon broken in half, sliced tomatoes, and slice of plain toast. Serve immediately; serves 4.Note: I made the tuna salad for my kids so it's relatively plain, but feel free increase the mustard or dill or to add hardboiled egg white, onion, celery, more veggies, etc. Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user ICA171.
