Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Whole-grain bagel
- 2 slices Low-sodium turkey bacon
- 1 small Ripe tomato
- 2 leaves Romaine lettuce
- 0.5 Avocado
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.125 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Garlic powder
- Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil cooking spray.
Cook the low-sodium turkey bacon in the skillet until crisp, about 5 minutes, turning halfway through. Once cooked, set aside on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
While the bacon is cooking, slice the whole-grain bagel in half and lightly toast it in a toaster or oven to your liking.
Slice the tomato into 1/4-inch thick rounds and rinse the romaine lettuce leaves under cold water, patting them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork. Stir in the lemon juice, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder to create a simple avocado spread.
Spread a thin layer of avocado mixture onto each half of the toasted bagel.
Layer the bottom half of the bagel with the cooked turkey bacon slices, followed by the tomato slices, and then the romaine lettuce leaves.
Place the top half of the bagel onto the lettuce, pressing down gently to secure the sandwich.
Cut the Low Sodium BLT Bagel in half for easy eating and enjoy!
