Begin by toasting the whole grain bread slices to your preferred level of crispiness using a toaster or toaster oven.
While the bread is toasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the turkey bacon slices to the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are crispy and golden brown.
While the bacon is cooking, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the avocado flesh into a bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork until mostly smooth, then mix in the fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and chop the fresh parsley.
Once the bread is toasted, spread the mashed avocado evenly across each slice.
Crumble the cooked turkey bacon over the avocado spread.
Top the avocado toast with halved cherry tomatoes and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy a delicious, low-fat indulgence for breakfast or a light snack.
