Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Low-sodium turkey breast slices
- 2 strips Low-sodium turkey bacon
- 2 slices Whole-grain bread (low-sodium)
- 2 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Tomato, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cups Avocado, mashed
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the mashed avocado with lemon juice and ground black pepper, if desired, to create an avocado spread.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the low-sodium turkey bacon strips for 3-4 minutes per side, or until crispy. Place cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Lightly toast the whole-grain bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet for added texture and warmth.
Spread the avocado mixture evenly on one side of each toasted bread slice.
Layer the bottom slice of bread with the romaine lettuce leaves, low-sodium turkey breast slices, cooked turkey bacon, and tomato slices.
Place the second slice of bread on top, avocado spread side down, to complete the sandwich.
Slice the sandwich in half, if desired, and serve immediately.
