Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices whole grain bread
- 8 ounces smoked tofu
- 1 large avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large tomato
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 0.5 small red onion
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Begin by preparing the avocado spread. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Slice the smoked tofu into thin slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu slices and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Toast the whole grain bread slices to your desired level of crispiness.
Slice the tomato and red onion thinly.
To assemble the sandwich, spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice.
On the first piece of bread, layer a lettuce leaf, two slices of smoked tofu, tomato slices, and red onion slices. Spread avocado mixture over the top.
Place another slice of bread on top, then add another layer of lettuce, smoked tofu, tomato, and onion.
Finish with a final bread slice, spread side down.
Gently press the sandwich layers together and secure with toothpicks if desired. Cut the sandwich diagonally into halves or quarters to serve.
Repeat the assembly process for the second sandwich and enjoy your vegetarian classic turkey club sandwich.
