california turkey BLT
Avocados are one of my absolute favorite things and they make this sandwich soo delicious (they are also a traditional element in what is called a "california" BLT). I substitute baby spinach leaves for lettuce, since they add more nutritional value, but feel free to use any green that you like.
- 2 slices hearty, whole wheat bread (toasted)
- 2 or 3 slices thin cut turkey bacon
- 3 thin slices ripe tomato (I add a tiny pinch of salt & black pepper)
- 1/4 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1 tsp course ground dijon mustard (optional, but adds a little spiciness, which I love)
Place bacon on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes (or until the crispiness that you like). Remove and let bacon cool on a piece of paper towel. Meanwhile, prep tomato and avocado and toast your bread. Layer the ingredients however you choose - I've found mustard, spinach, bacon, tomato then avocado works well. If you want to up the protein a bit, add a couple of slices of deli turkey. Yummm.
