Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices sourdough sandwich bread
- 8 slices sliced deli turkey breast
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 0.5 lemon
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 leaves butter lettuce
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 0.25 red onion
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Mash the avocado in a small bowl using a fork until smooth. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and mix in the mayonnaise. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper, then stir well to combine. Set aside.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds, the cucumber into thin slices, and the red onion into very thin rings.
Lay out the slices of sourdough bread on a clean work surface. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over one side of each slice. This will help keep the bread slightly crisp and enhance the flavor.
Spread the avocado mixture evenly on one side of 4 bread slices.
Layer the sandwich starting with a piece of butter lettuce on top of the avocado spread. Then, evenly distribute the turkey slices, tomato slices, cucumber slices, and red onion rings.
Place the remaining slices of sourdough bread on top, olive oil side facing out, to complete the sandwiches.
Cut each sandwich diagonally and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing Summer Turkey Sandwiches!
