Grilled Turkey Sandwich on Whole Wheat with Veggies

Ingredients

• grilled turkey breast 6 oz
• whole wheat bread 2 slices
• lettuce 2 leaves
• tomato 3 slices
• cucumber 4 slices
• light mayonnaise 1 tbsp
• olive oil 1 tsp

Method

1. Prepare the veggies. Wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Slice the tomato into about 3 even slices. Peel the cucumber if you prefer, then slice it into 4 thin rounds.
   Tip: Dry lettuce well to avoid soggy sandwich.
2. Toast the bread. Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Brush one side of each slice of whole wheat bread lightly with olive oil. Place the bread slices oil-side down on the pan and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and toast the other side for 1-2 minutes if you like it toasted on both sides.
   Tip: Use medium heat to avoid burning the bread.
3. Assemble the sandwich. Spread the light mayonnaise evenly on the non-toasted side of one slice of bread. Layer the grilled turkey breast slices evenly on top. Then add the lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and cucumber slices in that order. Top with the second slice of bread, toasted side facing out.
   Tip: Press down gently to keep sandwich together.
4. Serve and enjoy. Cut the sandwich diagonally or in half as you prefer. Serve immediately while the bread is still warm and crispy for the best texture and flavor.
   Tip: Pair with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete meal.

Pro tips

• If you want extra flavor, add a pinch of black pepper or your favorite herbs to the turkey slices.
• Use a grill pan or sandwich press if you want a warm, pressed sandwich with melted cheese.
