Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once done, place them on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Slice the Tomato

    Wash and slice the medium tomato into thin slices.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Toast the Bread

    Lightly toast the slices of whole grain bread until they are golden brown.

  2. 5

    Spread Condiments

    Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on two slices of toasted bread and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard on the other two slices.

  3. 6

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the mayonnaise-spread side of one slice of bread, layer 4 oz of shaved turkey, 2 slices of crispy bacon, a handful of arugula, a few slices of tomato, and a slice of cheddar cheese.

  4. 7

    Top and Cut

    Place the second slice of toasted bread (with mustard) on top of the layered ingredients. Cut the sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately. Repeat for the second sandwich.
