Description

This Ultimate Turkey Avocado Sandwich combines wholesome whole-grain bread, lean turkey breast, creamy ripe avocado, fresh spinach, and a tangy honey mustard sauce to create a quick, nutritious, and satisfying lunch option that’s ready in just 15 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale

Bread & Protein

  • 2 slices Whole-Grain Bread (pick a variety you love)
  • 4 ounces Turkey Breast (thinly sliced)

Produce & Vegetables

  • 1/2 fruit Avocado (ripe)
  • 1 cup Spinach (fresh greens)
  • 1/4 cup Optional Vegetables (Tomato or Cucumber, pat dry)

Condiments

  • 2 tablespoons Honey Mustard Sauce (mix equal parts honey and mustard with lemon)


Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all ingredients, ensuring the avocado is ripe for optimal flavor and texture.
  2. Toast Bread: Toast the whole-grain bread slices until golden brown, approximately 3-5 minutes, to add crunch and warmth.
  3. Apply Honey Mustard: Spread the prepared honey mustard sauce evenly on one slice of the toasted bread to infuse a sweet and tangy flavor base.
  4. Add Turkey: Layer the thinly sliced turkey breast evenly over the honey mustard-coated bread to provide lean protein.
  5. Place Avocado: Slice and add the ripe avocado over the turkey layers, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper to enhance its creamy richness.
  6. Top with Greens: Add fresh spinach leaves and any optional vegetables such as tomato or cucumber for extra freshness and nutrients.
  7. Complete Sandwich: Spread honey mustard sauce on the second slice of bread and place it sauce-side down atop the layered ingredients to seal the sandwich.
  8. Press and Serve: Press down gently to secure all layers together, then slice the sandwich diagonally for easy handling and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For an extra crunch, consider adding sliced cucumbers or tomatoes as optional veggies.
  • Use ripe avocado to ensure creamy texture and enhanced flavor.
  • Toast bread just before assembling for the best texture.
  • Honey mustard sauce can be prepared fresh by mixing equal parts honey and mustard with a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy freshness, or wrap tightly for lunch on the go.
