Begin by toasting the sandwich bread slices until they are golden brown and set aside.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then mash together until smooth and creamy.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined.
Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado mixture onto two slices of the toasted bread.
On the other two slices of bread, spread the mayonnaise and mustard mixture evenly.
Layer the turkey breast evenly on top of the avocado-covered bread slices.
Place the tomato slices on top of the turkey, followed by a leaf of lettuce on each.
Close each sandwich with the mayonnaise side of the other bread slice facing down to complete the sandwich.
Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately.
