Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 2 slices Turkey bacon
- 2 leaves Romaine lettuce
- 1 small Tomato
- 0.5 whole Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Cook the turkey bacon in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until crispy. Once cooked, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease.
Step 3
While the bacon cooks, slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside.
Step 4
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash it with a fork and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 5
Toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown.
Step 6
Once toasted, spread olive oil mayonnaise on one slice of the bread and mashed avocado on the other slice.
Step 7
Layer the romaine lettuce, sliced tomato, and cooked turkey bacon on the slice with mayonnaise.
Step 8
Top the layered ingredients with the avocado-smeared slice of bread to complete the sandwich.
Step 9
Cut the sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately.
