Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Place the turkey bacon slices in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy.

While the bacon is cooking, mash the avocado half in a small bowl with a fork. Add the lemon juice and a pinch of black pepper to the avocado, mixing well.

Slice the small tomato into thin slices.
Step 5
Once the bacon is done, remove it from the skillet and set it aside on a paper towel to drain any excess fat.

Step 7
Assemble the sandwich by spreading the mashed avocado evenly over one side of each toasted bread slice.
Step 8
Add the cooked turkey bacon on top of the avocado on one slice of bread. Then layer on the tomato slices and mixed greens.
Step 9
Top with the second slice of bread, avocado side down, to form the sandwich.
Step 10
Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy bacon butty!
