Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Cook the low sodium turkey bacon slices in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until crispy. Remove from heat and set aside on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
While the bacon is cooking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado using a fork until smooth.
Add the low sodium mayonnaise and black pepper to the mashed avocado and mix until well combined to create an avocado spread.
Slice the tomato into thin, even slices.
Lightly toast the whole grain bread slices until they are golden brown.
To assemble the sandwich, spread a portion of the avocado mixture onto one side of each bread slice.
Layer two slices of turkey bacon, several tomato slices, and two lettuce leaves on top of the avocado spread on one slice of bread.
Top with another slice of bread, avocado side down, to complete the sandwich. Repeat for the second sandwich.
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
