Ingredients
2 slices whole-grain, multigrain, sourdough, or sandwich bread
4–6 slices deli turkey breast
1/2 ripe avocado, sliced or mashed
2 slices fresh tomato
1 large lettuce leaf (romaine or green leaf lettuce)
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp Dijon or honey mustard
1 tsp lemon juice
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 slice provolone, Swiss, or cheddar cheese (optional)
Thin red onion slices (optional)
Cucumber slices or fresh sprouts (optional)
Instructions
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Thinly slice or mash the avocado in a bowl with a splash of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Mix mayonnaise with mustard in a small bowl until smooth.
Lightly toast both slices of bread until golden.
Spread the mayo-mustard mix evenly on one or both slices of bread.
Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bread half.
Fold turkey slices slightly and layer them over the lettuce.
Top with avocado and sliced tomato. Season tomatoes with a few dashes of salt and pepper.
Add optional cheese, red onion, or sprouts if desired.
Place the second bread slice on top. Avoid pressing too hard to keep the fillings intact.
Cut diagonally and serve.
Notes
For a vegan option, omit the turkey and use mashed avocado as the main protein source.
You can also use gluten-free bread if avoiding gluten.
Store any leftover ingredients separately in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
