Turkey Bacon Deviled Eggs

This recipe goes to my girl Lori Harder before she became an author, podcast host, speaker and founder of Drink Light pink. She was a personal trainer and created a cookbook which I use all the time. One of the main recipes I use are for these turkey bacon deviled eggs. I make them as an appetizer for special occasions and also have them handy for a quick breakfast or snack. They are so yummy! This is her exact recipe.

Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 Hard Boiled Eggs (discard 3 of the yolks) (see notes for tip on hard boiling)

  • 3 T. Fat Free Greek Yogurt

  • 1 T. Low-fat Mayo

  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard

  • 1 Packet no Calorie Sweetener

  • 1 T. Finely Chopped Chives

  • Paprika

  • ¼ tsp Onion Powder

  • ¼ tsp Garlic Powder

  • 1/8 tsp Red Pepper Flakes

  • 3 T. Finely Chopped Tomatoes (Optional)

  • Cooked Turkey Bacon (4-5 Strips) Chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Cut eggs in half lengthwise

  • Discard 3 yolks; put other 3 yolks in a bowl with the yogurt, mayo, mustard and sweetener.

  • Mash yolks and mix ingredients well.

  • Add the onion powder, garlic powder and red pepper flakes and mix well.

  • Stir in the tomatoes and bacon, salt and pepper to taste.

  • Fill the egg whites with the mixture.

  • Lightly sprinkle with the paprika and top the eggs with the chives.

  • Chill in refrigerator for about an hour

NOTES

For the perfectly boiled egg, cover eggs with cold water and heat on high uncovered until water comes to a rolling boil. Take eggs off of the heat and let sit covered for 18-20 minutes. Drain eggs and put in cold water until cooled. Eggs peel easily and no more dark color around the yolk!!
