Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 4 ounces Cooked turkey breast (low-sodium, sliced)
- 0.5 medium Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 4 whole Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 cup Baby spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon Feta cheese (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Toast the two slices of whole grain bread until lightly crispy, if desired.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and mix in the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a creamy spread.
Spread the avocado mixture evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and the cucumber into thin rounds.
Layer the baby spinach leaves, sliced cooked turkey breast, cherry tomato halves, and cucumber slices onto one slice of bread. For an extra Mediterranean flair, sprinkle feta cheese on top (optional).
Place the second slice of bread on top, avocado side down, to complete the sandwich.
Press the sandwich lightly to hold it together. Slice in half diagonally if desired, and serve immediately.
