Ingredients
- 4 slices Turkey breast slices
- 3 slices Bacon
- 4 large leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 small (sliced rounds) Tomato
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 0.5 medium (sliced) Avocado
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Optional: Dijon mustard
Directions
Step 1
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Step 2
While the bacon cooks, prepare your vegetables: carefully wash the romaine lettuce leaves to remove dirt, slice the tomato into thin rounds, and slice the avocado.
Step 3
Lay two large romaine lettuce leaves flat on a cutting board; these will act as the 'bottom bun' of your sandwich.
Step 4
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly onto the lettuce. If desired, spread the Dijon mustard on top of the mayonnaise for extra flavor.
Step 5
Layer 2 slices of turkey breast onto the lettuce, followed by half of the cooked bacon slices, a few slices of tomato, and several slices of avocado. Season the vegetables lightly with salt and black pepper for additional taste.
Step 6
Top the stack with the remaining 2 turkey slices, bacon, and another layer of mayonnaise using the second tablespoon.
Step 7
Place the final two romaine lettuce leaves on top as the 'top bun,' gently pressing down to secure the sandwich layers.
Step 8
Wrap the sandwich tightly in parchment paper or use toothpicks to hold it together. Slice in half for easier handling if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, low-carb turkey and bacon sandwich!
