Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the turkey bacon slices to the skillet and cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

While the bacon is cooking, toast the whole grain bread slices in a toaster until golden brown.

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, ground black pepper, and salt. Mash the mixture with a fork until creamy.
Step 5
Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
Step 6
Spread the mashed avocado mixture generously on two slices of the toasted bread.
Step 7
Layer each sandwich as follows: two lettuce leaves, three slices of turkey bacon, tomato slices, and cover with the remaining bread slices.
Step 8
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
