Turkey BLT Sandwiches

When you need a quick lunch, cook some turkey bacon on the stovetop in a frying pan or in the microwave. On the stovetop, cook over medium heat, turning the bacon after 5 minutes. In the microwave, cover a plate with paper towel, then place 6 pieces of bacon on the plate. Cover with more paper towel. Cook at full power for 5 minutes, rotating halfway through. Check the bacon, turning it or moving the outside pieces to the center, as necessary. Cook one minute more, until bacon is done. Set aside.

Toast sandwich bread lightly. Slice tomato thinly. Wash and tear a Romaine lettuce leaf or leaf of kale (pictured) for each sandwich. Slices of avocado are tasty, too, if you have them. Spread mayonnaise or Miracle Whip on the bread. Add a small amount of mustard, if you wish. Tear bacon in half. Layer three bacon halves on one side of the bread. On the other side, layer a lettuce leaf, tomato, and avocado. Place on top of the bacon half. Cut the sandwich in half, if you like.

Serve with grapes or other fresh fruit or veggie sticks or a pickle.
