Ingredients
- Whole wheat sandwich bread 2 slices
- Sliced turkey breast 5 oz
- Avocado 1/4 medium
- Lettuce 1 leaf
- Mustard 1 tsp
Method
-
Prepare the avocado.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out one quarter of the avocado. Mash it gently with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky.
Tip: Use a ripe avocado for easy mashing and best flavor. -
Toast the bread (optional).
If you prefer, lightly toast the two slices of whole wheat bread to add crunch and warmth to your sandwich.
Tip: Toast just until golden to avoid dryness. -
Spread mustard and avocado.
Spread 1 teaspoon of mustard evenly on one slice of bread. On the other slice, spread the mashed avocado evenly.
Tip: Spreading mustard first helps prevent the bread from becoming soggy. -
Assemble the sandwich.
Place the 5 oz of sliced turkey breast evenly over the mustard-spread bread. Add the washed lettuce leaf on top of the turkey. Finally, place the avocado-spread bread slice on top, avocado side down, to complete the sandwich.
Tip: Press gently to help the sandwich hold together. -
Serve and enjoy.
Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Tip: Pair with a side of fresh fruit or veggies for a complete meal.
Pro tips
