Description
A quick, healthy, and delicious 5-minute lunch featuring crispy turkey bacon, creamy mashed avocado, and fresh toppings on toasted sourdough bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 slices turkey bacon
- 2 medium ripe avocados
- 4 slices sourdough or whole wheat bread
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
- Pinch of sea salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 medium tomato, sliced thinly (optional)
- Small handful of arugula or lettuce (optional)
- Butter or olive oil for toasting (optional)
- 1 teaspoon mustard (optional)
Instructions
- Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a small mixing bowl.
- Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the avocado and mash with a fork until desired consistency is reached. Set aside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook turkey bacon slices in a single layer for 2-3 minutes per side until crispy.
- Remove bacon from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Toast the bread slices in a toaster or in the pan with butter until golden brown.
- Spread the avocado mixture evenly on one slice of toasted bread.
- Layer the crispy turkey bacon on top of the avocado.
- Add tomato slices and arugula or lettuce if using. Season tomatoes with a pinch of salt.
- Top with the second slice of bread.
- Cut the sandwich in half diagonally or straight down the middle and serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, toast the bread to add crunch and prevent sogginess. If meal prepping, store components separately and assemble just before eating. Add lemon juice to avocado to prevent browning. Turkey bacon cooks faster than regular bacon, so watch it closely to avoid burning.
