Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
- 2 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato
- 3 slices smoked turkey breast
- 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 slices red onion
- 0.5 whole avocado
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
1. Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and at room temperature (particularly the bread and condiments).
2. Spread the mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of bread using a butter knife.
3. Spread the whole-grain mustard on one slice of bread over the mayonnaise layer to add tangy flavor.
4. Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves, then place them flat on the mustard-covered bread slice.
5. Slice the tomato into thin, even rounds and layer them over the lettuce. Sprinkle the tomato with a pinch of salt and black pepper for enhanced flavor.
6. Add the slices of smoked turkey breast on top of the tomato layer, folding them slightly for texture and even distribution.
7. Lay the cheddar cheese slices over the turkey. Ensure the cheese covers most of the turkey for balanced flavor.
8. Thinly slice the red onion and halve the avocado. Use a spoon to scoop out the avocado flesh, then slice it thinly. Place the onion and avocado slices over the cheese.
9. Drizzle a small amount (about 1 teaspoon) of olive oil over the assembled ingredients for a touch of richness.
10. Carefully position the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, over the sandwich. Gently press it down without squishing the layers.
11. Using a sharp knife, cut the sandwich diagonally into two halves to create two triangles. Serve immediately and enjoy!
