Ingredients
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 8 oz sliced turkey
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 2 slices tomato
- Leafy greens (lettuce or spinach)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 4 slices of whole grain bread, 8 oz of sliced turkey, 1 ripe avocado, 2 slices of tomato, and leafy greens such as lettuce or spinach.
- Take the ripe avocado and carefully slice it in half. Remove the pit and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Place the avocado halves in a bowl.
- Using a fork, mash the avocado lightly until it reaches your desired consistency. You can leave it chunky or make it smoother, depending on your preference.
- Season the mashed avocado with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor. You can also add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice for extra freshness, if desired.
- Toast the whole grain bread slices lightly if you prefer a bit of crunch. This step is optional but adds a nice texture to the sandwich.
- Once the bread is ready, spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado on two of the slices of bread.
- On top of the avocado spread, layer the sliced turkey evenly, distributing it across both slices.
- Next, add a slice of tomato on each sandwich for a fresh, juicy element.
- Top the tomato slices with a handful of leafy greens, such as lettuce or spinach, for added crunch and nutrition.
- Finally, place the remaining two slices of bread on top to complete the sandwiches.
- Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally for easier handling, and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Turkey with Avocado Sandwich!
