Ingredients
1 tablespoon heart-healthy margarine (we used Smart Balance)1 tablespoon flour1 cup skim milk1 teaspoon Dijon mustardpinch black pepper2 tablespoons shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese4 slices whole wheat bread2 slices turkey bacon or reduced-fat bacon2 Roma tomatoes, chopped 4 cups baby spinach 1 cup sliced button mushrooms4 ounces cooked turkey breast, sliced4 slices reduced-sodium deli ham
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Melt the butter in a medium sauce pan, then add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for one minute. Slowly whisk in the milk, and turn the heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for five minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Stir in the mustard, pepper and cheese and remove from heat.
Cook the bacon in a large saute pan, then remove from pan, chop, and set aside. Cook the mushrooms in the same pan for two minutes, then add the spinach and cook another two minutes.
Coat an 8 X 10 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Place the toast in the dish in a single layer, then layer on the turkey and ham, and spinach and mushroom mixture. Pour on the cheese sauce, then sprinkle on the tomatoes and bacon. Bake for 15 minutes or until the sauce starts to bubble.
Serve immediately.

I usually steer clear of any recepie that has been altered too much. Many I find to leave you longing for the real ingredients.
This was an exception. I made it as stated, maybe a little more cheese, figured it into my calories and loved it. This recepie will go into my once in a while meal plan. - 2/25/12

I'd never had this for "real" so I can't compare but it was quite tasty. I used regular bacon which may have made a big difference in taste! Also 2 Arnold's Flat Breads. It is quite filling. I used a total of 5 pkgs. of Buddig meats and it was very meaty. Not at all "diet" tasting. I'd make again. - 2/27/12
