Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices cooked turkey bacon
- 4 leaves large romaine lettuce leaves
- 6 ounces cooked turkey breast
- 1 whole avocado
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 1 medium tomato
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (Whole30-compliant)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Wash the romaine lettuce leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towel. Set aside.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, then mash together with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Thinly slice the tomato and red onion into rings.
Lay two romaine lettuce leaves flat on a clean surface to serve as the base 'wrap' for each sandwich.
Spread 1 tablespoon of the mashed avocado mixture on each lettuce leaf base.
Layer 3 ounces of turkey breast, 3 slices of turkey bacon, a few slices of tomato, and some red onion on top of each lettuce leaf with avocado.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of Whole30-compliant Dijon mustard over the filled lettuce leaves for added flavor.
Top each sandwich with a second lettuce leaf, wrapping it around the filling to form a wrap-like sandwich.
Secure the sandwich with toothpicks, if necessary, to keep it together, and serve immediately.
