1 | heirloom tomato, sliced |

1 Teaspoon | fresh lime juice |
6 | slices thick cut bacon |
4 | slices thick, sturdy white sandwich bread |

Step 2
Coarsely mash the avocado with the lime juice and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
1 small or 1/2 large ripe avocado
1 Teaspoon fresh lime juice
Step 3
Preheat 1 zone on the flat top on medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Line a plate with paper towel.
Step 4
Lay the bacon on the hot surface and cook until browned on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer the bacon to the paper towel-lined plate. Scrape away most of the bacon fat, leaving the surface lightly coated.

Step 5
Lightly spread some mayonnaise over one side of each bread slice. Arrange the bread, mayo-side down on the hot surface. Cook until nicely browned and then flip to toast the other side.

Step 6
To assemble the sandwiches, top the mayo-side of two of the bread slices with the mashed avocado. Top with the lettuce, tomato, bacon, and turkey. Top with the remaining bread, mayo side down. Press lightly with a burger press or similar to slightly compress and make easier to eat. Slice the sandwiches in half and serve. Enjoy!
