Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Turkey bacon
- 4 slices Whole-grain bread
- 4 tablespoons Hummus
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the turkey bacon slices until crispy, approximately 3-5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
While the turkey bacon is cooking, lightly toast the whole-grain bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth, then stir in the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make a simple guacamole spread.
Slice the cucumber and tomato into thin rounds.
Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus on each slice of toasted bread.
On two of the bread slices, layer the spinach leaves, cucumber slices, tomato slices, cooked turkey bacon, and finally a generous spread of the mashed avocado.
Top each assembled sandwich with the remaining bread slices, hummus side down.
Cut the sandwiches in half if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your wholesome Mediterranean Diet Turkey Bacon Sandwich!
