Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 slices of turkey bacon
- 4 slices of whole grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup lettuce
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the balsamic avocado mayo: Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small mixing bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth.
- Add balsamic vinegar to the mashed avocado, whisking until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Set the avocado mayo aside.
- Cook the turkey bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until crisp and golden brown. Remove from the pan and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.
- While the bacon is cooking, toast the whole grain bread slices until they reach a golden brown color and have a crisp texture.
- Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomatoes into even, medium-thick slices.
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread a generous layer of balsamic avocado mayo on each slice of toasted bread.
- Layer the ingredients: Place lettuce leaves on the bottom slice of bread, followed by sliced tomatoes, and crispy turkey bacon.
- Top with the second slice of bread, mayo side down. Slice the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately.
Tips
- • Use a ripe avocado for the smoothest, creamiest mayo - it should yield slightly when gently pressed • Toast your bread until it's golden and crisp to provide a sturdy base for your sandwich • Cook turkey bacon on medium heat to ensure even crispiness without burning • Pat your lettuce and tomatoes dry to prevent soggy bread • For extra flavor, try adding a light sprinkle of fresh cracked black pepper or a dash of garlic powder to your avocado mayo • Serve immediately after assembly to maintain the perfect texture and temperature • For a low-carb version, you can replace bread with large lettuce leaves
