Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole-grain bread
- 2 slices turkey bacon
- 0.5 whole avocado
- 1 small tomato
- 0.5 cup mixed greens
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Place the turkey bacon slices in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy.
While the bacon is cooking, mash the avocado half in a small bowl with a fork. Add the lemon juice and a pinch of black pepper to the avocado, mixing well.
Slice the small tomato into thin slices.
Once the bacon is done, remove it from the skillet and set it aside on a paper towel to drain any excess fat.
Lightly toast the whole-grain bread slices in the toaster or under the grill until they are golden brown.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading the mashed avocado evenly over one side of each toasted bread slice.
Add the cooked turkey bacon on top of the avocado on one slice of bread. Then layer on the tomato slices and mixed greens.
Top with the second slice of bread, avocado side down, to form the sandwich.
Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy bacon butty!
