Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ounces Low Sodium Turkey Breast (sliced)
- 2 slices Whole Grain Bread (low sodium)
- 0.5 pieces Avocado (ripe)
- 2 leaves Lettuce (romaine or butter lettuce)
- 2 slices Tomato (sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Lemon Juice (fresh)
- 0.25 teaspoons Black Pepper (freshly ground, optional)
- 1 teaspoons Dijon Mustard (optional, low sodium)
Instructions
Start by toasting the slices of whole grain bread lightly, if desired, for added texture.
In a small bowl, scoop out the flesh of half an avocado and mash it with a fork. Add the lemon juice and black pepper, if using, to enhance the flavor.
Spread the mashed avocado evenly on one side of each slice of bread, acting as a creamy and nutritious replacement for high-sodium condiments.
Place the sliced low sodium turkey breast evenly across one slice of bread.
Add the lettuce leaves on top of the turkey, followed by the tomato slices for a fresh and crunchy layer.
If using Dijon mustard, spread it on the other slice of bread before placing it on top to complete the sandwich.
Press down gently and slice the sandwich in half for easy serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy and satisfying low sodium turkey avocado sandwich!
