Toast the two slices of whole grain bread until golden brown and slightly crisp.
While the bread is toasting, cook the turkey bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Spread the light mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
Place one romaine lettuce leaf on top of the mayonnaise-coated side of one bread slice.
Add 2-3 slices of fresh tomato on top of the lettuce.
Layer the cooked turkey bacon over the tomato slices.
Add the avocado slices on top of the bacon, and sprinkle with a pinch of black pepper to taste.
Add the second romaine lettuce leaf on top of the avocado, then place the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, to close the sandwich.
Slice the sandwich diagonally, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Diet Right B L T!
