Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole-grain bread
- 3 ounces Cooked turkey breast (low-sodium, thinly sliced)
- 0.5 medium Avocado (ripe)
- 0.5 cup Baby spinach leaves
- 0.5 medium Tomato (medium, thinly sliced)
- 0.25 small Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Toast the two slices of whole-grain bread to your desired level of crispiness and set them aside to cool slightly.
Scoop the flesh of half an avocado into a small bowl and mash it with a fork. Mix in the lemon juice to prevent browning and to add a bright flavor.
Spread an even layer of mashed avocado on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
On one slice of the avocado-coated bread, layer the baby spinach leaves, followed by the turkey breast slices, tomato slices, and red onion slices.
Spread the Dijon mustard on the other slice of bread and place it on top of the sandwich fillings, mustard-side down.
Cut the sandwich diagonally for easy handling and serve immediately. Enjoy a healthy, delicious meal!
