Description
A quick, savory, and creamy sandwich featuring crispy turkey bacon, mashed avocado, spicy mayo, and fresh vegetables on toasted sourdough bread. Perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6–8 slices thick-cut turkey bacon
- 2 medium ripe avocados
- 4 slices thick-cut sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 ripe tomato, sliced
- Green leaf lettuce leaves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Black pepper, freshly cracked
- Butter (optional, for toasting bread)
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook turkey bacon for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- While bacon cooks, cut avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice and black pepper, then mash with a fork until chunky and creamy.
- Toast the bread slices. For pan-toasting, butter the outside and cook in the skillet with residual bacon fat until golden brown (1-2 minutes per side).
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha to create spicy mayo. Adjust spice level to taste.
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread spicy mayo on one slice of bread, add lettuce, mashed avocado, crispy turkey bacon, and tomato slices. Top with the second slice of bread.
- Slice the sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately.
Notes
Toast the bread to prevent sogginess from the avocado and tomato. Cook turkey bacon on medium heat to avoid burning. Mash avocado right before assembly to prevent browning. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread or lettuce wraps. For a dairy-free option, use vegan mayo.
