Turkey Avocado Sandwich
Whole-grain sandwich with sliced turkey breast, avocado, tomato, lettuce, and a smear of dijon — a classic American lunch.
For 1 serving
Prepare the bread base.
- Lay out two slices of whole-wheat bread on a clean surface.
- Spread dijon mustard evenly across the top of both slices.
- Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the mustard.
Layer the fillings and serve.
- Place the sliced turkey breast on one slice of bread.
- Top the turkey with avocado slices, tomato, and romaine lettuce.
- Close the sandwich with the second slice and cut in half diagonally.
TIPPlace the lettuce leaf directly against the bread to act as a moisture barrier against the tomato.
What to keep in mind.
3 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Choose a ripe avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure for the creamiest texture.
- 2Pat the tomato slices with a paper towel before adding them to the sandwich to remove excess moisture.
- 3Lightly toast the whole-wheat bread if you prefer a warm, crunchy texture that holds up better to the fillings.
