Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 sandwich
Ingredients
- 3 slices of toasted bread
- 4 ounces sliced turkey
- 2 slices crispy bacon
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1/4 cup lettuce
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- Mayonnaise to taste
Instructions
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Cook the crispy bacon slices in the skillet until golden brown, flipping halfway through. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet, toast the 3 slices of bread until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Set the toasted bread aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sliced turkey breast and 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning until the turkey is evenly coated.
- Spread a layer of mayonnaise on each toasted bread slice, to taste.
- On the first bread slice, layer the Cajun-spiced turkey, 2 slices of crispy bacon, 1/2 slice of avocado, 1 slice of tomato, and 1/4 cup of lettuce.
- Top with the second bread slice, mayonnaise side up.
- Repeat the layering process, starting with the turkey, then the bacon, avocado, tomato, and lettuce.
- Top with the third bread slice, mayonnaise side up.
- Cut the sandwich into quarters or halves, depending on your preference.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
