Recipe by Inspired by Todd Ginsberg of Fred's Meat & Bread, Atlanta The fastest way to turn turkey into breakfast: Eat it on French toast.

Ingredients

6 slices thick-cut bacon
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
3 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of kosher salt
4 slices thick country-style white bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Leftover cranberry sauce, leftover sliced turkey, and arugula leaves (for serving)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 °. Sprinkle bacon with brown sugar and pepper; transfer to a wire rack set inside a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and bake until browned and crisp, 20 –25 minutes. Let cool.
Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a large baking dish. Add bread slices and let sit, turning to coat, until bread has absorbed most of the liquid, about 5 minutes.
Melt 1 Tbsp. butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook 2 slices of bread until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining 1 Tbsp. butter and 2 slices of bread.
Assemble sandwiches using leftover cranberry sauce, leftover turkey, arugula, and bacon, and cut in half.

PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe

This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
