Turkey and Avocado Sandwich on Whole Wheat Bread

Ingredients

• Sliced turkey breast 6 oz
• Whole wheat bread 2 slices
• Avocado 1/4 medium
• Lettuce 2 leaves
• Tomato 3 slices

Method

1. Prepare your ingredients. Wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Wash the tomato, then slice it into three even slices. Peel and pit the avocado, then scoop out a quarter of the flesh and slice it thinly.
   Tip: Make sure the avocado is ripe for a creamy texture; it should yield slightly when pressed gently.
2. Toast the bread (optional). If you like your sandwich with a bit of crunch, lightly toast the two slices of whole wheat bread using a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.
   Tip: Toasting adds texture and helps prevent the bread from becoming soggy from the avocado.
3. Assemble the sandwich. Lay one slice of bread flat on a clean surface or plate. Arrange the lettuce leaves evenly on the bread. Next, layer the sliced turkey breast evenly over the lettuce. Follow with the tomato slices, then the sliced avocado on top.
   Tip: Arrange ingredients evenly to ensure every bite has all the flavors.
4. Finish and serve. Place the second slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich. Press down gently to keep the sandwich together. Cut the sandwich diagonally if desired, and serve immediately.
   Tip: Cutting diagonally makes the sandwich easier to handle and looks appealing.

Pro tips

• Use ripe avocado for the best creamy texture and flavor.
• Add a light spread of mustard or mayonnaise if you want extra moisture and flavor.
