Start by cooking the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
While the bacon is cooking, slice the tomato into thin rounds and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Peel and pit the avocado, then slice it into thin strips.
Lightly toast 12 slices of whole wheat bread. You can use a toaster or a skillet with a little bit of butter for added flavor.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each toasted bread slice.
To assemble each sandwich, start by placing 3 slices of toast on a clean surface. On the first slice, layer a leaf of lettuce, several slices of turkey breast, and then a layer of bacon (2 slices per sandwich).
On top of the bacon, add a layer of tomato slices and 3-4 slices of avocado.
Place the second slice of toast, mayo side down, on top of the avocado. Then, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on top of this second slice of bread.
Repeat the layering process: lettuce, turkey breast, bacon, tomato slices, and avocado.
Finish by placing the third slice of toast on top, mayo side down. Secure the sandwich by inserting wooden picks in each corner, and then carefully cut the sandwich diagonally into quarters.
Repeat for the remaining sandwiches. Serve immediately, ensuring to remove the wooden picks before serving.
