Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 strips Turkey Bacon
- 4 slices Whole Grain Bread
- 4 slices Gouda Cheese
- 1 cup Spinach
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea Salt
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add turkey bacon strips to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
While the bacon is cooking, mash the avocado in a small bowl. Mix in olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to create an avocado spread.
Slice the tomato into thin, even slices.
Lightly toast the whole grain bread slices in a toaster or on a separate skillet until golden brown.
Spread the avocado mixture evenly on one side of each toasted bread slice.
Place a slice of gouda cheese on two slices of the bread.
Layer the cooked turkey bacon, fresh spinach, and tomato slices evenly onto the cheese-covered bread slices.
Cover with the remaining slices of bread (avocado side down) to form two sandwiches.
Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
