Ingredients
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 4 slices low-sodium turkey bacon
- 1 medium ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 large fresh tomato
- 4 leaves romaine lettuce
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Cook the turkey bacon slices in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until crispy. Once cooked, place the bacon on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Step 3
While the bacon is cooking, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice and mash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Set aside.
Step 4
Slice the fresh tomato into thin slices and set aside.
Step 5
Toast the whole grain bread slices to your preference using a toaster or toaster oven.
Step 6
To assemble the sandwiches, spread an equal amount of the mashed avocado mixture on all four slices of toasted bread.
Step 7
On two of the avocado-coated bread slices, layer two romaine lettuce leaves, followed by slices of turkey bacon (two per sandwich), and finish with sliced tomato.
Step 8
Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over the tomato slices and drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
Step 9
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of avocado-coated bread, and slice the sandwiches in half before serving.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy BLTA sandwich!
