Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Turkey bacon
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 medium Tomato
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the turkey bacon slices to the skillet and cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
While the bacon is cooking, toast the whole grain bread slices in a toaster until golden brown.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, ground black pepper, and salt. Mash the mixture with a fork until creamy.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
Spread the mashed avocado mixture generously on two slices of the toasted bread.
Layer each sandwich as follows: two lettuce leaves, three slices of turkey bacon, tomato slices, and cover with the remaining bread slices.
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
