Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole-grain bread
- 3 ounces Turkey breast, thinly sliced (low-sodium)
- 2 slices Turkey bacon, nitrate-free
- 0.5 piece Avocado
- 0.5 cup Baby spinach or mixed greens
- 0.25 cup Tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 spritz Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 pinch Ground black pepper
Instructions
Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with a spritz of olive oil cooking spray.
Cook the turkey bacon slices in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
While the turkey bacon cooks, toast the whole-grain bread slices until lightly browned.
Mash the avocado in a small bowl and season with a pinch of ground black pepper.
Spread Dijon mustard on one slice of the toasted bread. On the second slice, spread the mashed avocado evenly.
Layer the turkey slices evenly on top of the Dijon mustard side of bread.
Add the cooked turkey bacon slices on top of the turkey breast.
Place the tomato slices and baby spinach (or mixed greens) over the turkey bacon.
Top the sandwich with the avocado-smeared slice of bread. Press gently to hold everything together.
Slice the sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
