Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 small green bell pepper
- 1.5 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tsp stone-ground mustard
- 1 ½ tsp Salt-Free Everything Bagel Seasoning
- 4 slices deli turkey
- 2 slices bacon (cooked, broken in half)
- 1 slice Provolone cheese (cut in half)
- 2 tbsp mashed avocado
- 3 slices thinly-sliced cucumber
Instructions
- Prepare the Bell Pepper: Slice the green bell pepper in half lengthwise, then carefully remove the seeds and veins from each half to create two pepper ‘bread’ halves ready for sandwich assembly.
- Spread Cream Cheese and Mustard: Evenly spread the softened cream cheese on the inside surfaces of both bell pepper halves, followed by an even layer of stone-ground mustard. Then, sprinkle the Salt-Free Everything Bagel Seasoning generously on both sides to add a burst of flavor.
- Add Turkey and Bacon: Place two slices of deli turkey on each pepper half. Layer one half with one slice of cooked bacon (broken in half), and place the remaining half with the other slice of bacon similarly divided.
- Top with Cheese, Avocado, and Cucumber: Add half of the Provolone cheese slice on one half of the bell pepper. Spread the mashed avocado atop the cheese. Finally, arrange the thin cucumber slices evenly over the avocado to add freshness and crunch.
- Assemble and Serve: Carefully place the pepper half with fewer ingredients on top of the other to form a sandwich. Use a serrated knife to cut the assembled sandwich in half for easier handling, then serve immediately to enjoy the crisp textures and savory flavors.
Notes
- This sandwich is a great low-carb alternative to traditional bread sandwiches.
- Use fresh bell peppers for the best crunch and flavor.
- Cooking the bacon until crisp adds a nice texture contrast.
- Feel free to substitute turkey with another deli meat if preferred.
- To make it vegetarian, omit the bacon and turkey and add extra cheese or vegetables.
- Best served fresh to maintain the crispness of the bell pepper and cucumber.
