THIS, was a huge hit at my house. I had a long day in class and needed to refuel after my morning's workout from earlier that same day. I sat in class and daydreamed about avocado sooo, I went to the store on the way home and this happened!
I call it a toastie because it's not quite a panini, since I had no press haha.
And the name "toastie" just sounds cuter!
Loaded with protein from the meat and nutritious value from the grains and avocado!
You're gonna love this! Low in excess fats and oils.
YOU WILL NEED:
2 slices of nutty grain bread (or whatever bread you prefer)
1 avocado
1 slice fat-free sharp cheddar cheese
Lean turkey meat (I got mine from the deli, but pre-packed is okay, too! Just pick the most "nutritious" one)
2 slices lean turkey bacon
1/2 tsp salt
Pinch of garlic powder (season to preferred taste)
1/2 tsp lime juice (again, season to taste)
DIRECTIONS:
Cook the bacon in a skillet and set aside on a plate with paper towels to soak up the excess oil.
Split the two slices in half, making 4 pieces of bacon.
Cut open the avocado and mush it up, as if you were making guacamole.
Add in the salt, garlic powder, and lime juice.
On one slice of bread, place the cheese and top with the 4 mini slices of bacon.
On the other slice of bread, spread the avocado/guac as if it were mayo. Then layer on the turkey meat.
(Save some of the guac, you'll be adding a second layer in just a second)
Place the slices of bread in the skillet and toast. (You're only toasting the outside, since the other side is already topped with meat and such. This helps keep some moisture in the bread and melts the cheese so that the bacon sticks to it.
Remove from heat.
Take the slice of bread that has the avocado and turkey and spread one more layer of avocado.
Put the two bread pieces together and ta-da!
In joy, enjoy :)
-JVee
PS.
To make it faster, just premix the avocado and put it in the fridge.
In the morning, toast the bread slices in the toaster and add everything else, accordingly.
Wrap it up, take it to-go!
