Waffles packed with turkey, ham, bacon and apricot preserves have so much sweet, smoky love going on. I use frozen waffles to save time, but have at it if you want to put your waffle iron to good use. —Kelly Reynolds, Urbana, Illinois

Ingredients

1/2 cup apricot preserves
8 frozen waffles
4 slices deli turkey
4 slices deli ham
4 slices Havarti cheese (about 3 ounces)
4 bacon strips, cooked
2 tablespoons butter, softened
Maple syrup

Directions

Preheat griddle over medium heat. Spread preserves over 4 waffles. Layer with turkey, ham, cheese and bacon; top with remaining waffles. Lightly spread outsides of waffles with butter.
Place on griddle; cook 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and heated through. Serve with syrup for dipping.

Health Tip: Yep, this is one decadent sandwich. Use cooking spray instead of butter and cut the bacon and cheese in half to save 130 calories, 7 g saturated fat and almost 300 mg sodium per serving.
