Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Place the turkey bacon slices in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy.

Assemble the sandwich by spreading the mashed avocado evenly over one side of each toasted bread slice.
Step 8
Add the cooked turkey bacon on top of the avocado on one slice of bread. Then layer on the tomato slices and mixed greens.
Step 9
Top with the second slice of bread, avocado side down, to form the sandwich.
