Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large lettuce leaves (e.g., romaine or butter lettuce)
- 4 ounces Sliced turkey breast (cooked, deli-style or leftover)
- 0.5 medium Avocado
- 0.5 medium Tomato, thinly sliced
- 0.25 small Red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves gently using a paper towel. Choose large, intact leaves that can hold the sandwich filling.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Mash it with a fork in a small bowl until creamy, or slice thinly if you prefer a chunkier texture.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and/or Dijon mustard on two of the lettuce leaves if desired.
Lay 2 ounces of sliced turkey breast evenly on each of the prepared lettuce leaves.
Layer the mashed or sliced avocado on top of the turkey.
Add a couple of tomato slices on top of the avocado, followed by a few slices of red onion if using.
Sprinkle each sandwich with salt and black pepper to taste.
Place the remaining two lettuce leaves on top to create a sandwich, gently pressing the edges together to seal the contents.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Carb Turkey and Avocado Sandwich!
