Preheat a skillet over medium heat and cook the turkey bacon until crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and let cool on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
While the bacon is cooking, mash the medium avocado in a small bowl and mix with lemon juice to make a simple guacamole.
Lightly toast the whole-grain bread slices until golden brown using a toaster or oven broiler.
Lay out three toasted bread slices. Spread a thin layer of the avocado mixture on each slice.
On the first slice, layer half the turkey breast slices, one lettuce leaf, half the tomato slices, and half the cucumber slices. Add a dash of freshly ground black pepper.
Place the second piece of toast, avocado side down, on top of the layered ingredients.
Add another layer on the second slice with the remaining turkey breast, lettuce, tomato, and cucumber. Top with two pieces of turkey bacon.
Cover with the third piece of toast, avocado side down, to complete the sandwich.
Carefully slice the sandwich diagonally with a sharp knife to create two triangular halves. Secure each half with a toothpick, if necessary.
Repeat the layering process to prepare the second sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy classic clubhouse sandwich.
