Ingredients

• 4 strips Turkey Bacon
• 4 slices Whole Grain Bread
• 4 slices Gouda Cheese
• 1 cup Spinach
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 medium Tomato
• 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add turkey bacon strips to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Step 3

While the bacon is cooking, mash the avocado in a small bowl. Mix in olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to create an avocado spread.

Step 4

Slice the tomato into thin, even slices.

Step 5

Lightly toast the whole grain bread slices in a toaster or on a separate skillet until golden brown.

Step 6

Spread the avocado mixture evenly on one side of each toasted bread slice.

Step 7

Place a slice of gouda cheese on two slices of the bread.

Step 8

Layer the cooked turkey bacon, fresh spinach, and tomato slices evenly onto the cheese-covered bread slices.

Step 9

Cover with the remaining slices of bread (avocado side down) to form two sandwiches.

Step 10

Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
