Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices turkey bacon
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium tomato
- 2 leaves romaine lettuce
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Cook the turkey bacon slices in the skillet for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of crispiness. Remove and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
While the bacon is cooking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork and add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, mixing until smooth. Set aside.
Toast the whole grain bread slices in a toaster until golden brown.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
On a clean work surface, lay out the toasted bread. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the mayonnaise-covered sides of two slices of the bread.
On the avocado side of the bread, place a romaine lettuce leaf, followed by 2 slices of cooked turkey bacon, and then layer with tomato slices.
Top each sandwich with the remaining slice of toasted bread, mayonnaise side down.
Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your fresh and tasty turkey bacon sandwiches!
