Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole-grain bread
- 4 ounces Cooked turkey breast (sliced, skinless, and low-sodium)
- 1 slice Reduced-fat Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons Avocado (mashed)
- 1 handful Baby spinach leaves
- 2 slices Tomato (thinly sliced)
- 1 spray Olive oil or avocado oil spray
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over one side of each slice of whole-grain bread.
Layer one slice of bread with baby spinach leaves, tomato slices, cooked turkey breast, and the reduced-fat Swiss cheese.
Top with the second slice of bread, avocado-side down, to form a sandwich.
Lightly spray the outside of the sandwich with olive oil or avocado oil for a crisp, golden finish when grilling.
Place the sandwich in the preheated skillet and press gently with a spatula.
Cook for 2–3 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown, then carefully flip the sandwich and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is evenly toasted.
Remove from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
