Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices artisan sourdough, multi-grain, or whole wheat bread (or brioche bun)
- 4–6 slices high-quality, thinly sliced deli turkey breast (oven-roasted or smoked)
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons good quality Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey (or more, to taste)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (aioli-style preferred)
- a tiny splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- fresh butter lettuce, arugula, or baby spinach
- optional: thin slices of ripe tomato
- optional: provolone, Swiss, or mild cheddar cheese
- optional: very thinly sliced red onion
- optional: crispy beef bacon
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: If making your own honey mustard sauce, whisk together 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, and a tiny splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice in a small bowl. Taste and adjust to your liking.
- Slice your turkey breast.
- Prepare your avocado: slice it or mash it lightly with a fork, adding a small squeeze of lemon or lime juice to prevent browning.
- Wash and dry your chosen greens.
- Slice any optional additions like tomato or red onion.
- Toast the Bread: Lightly toast two slices of your chosen bread until golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Spread the Sauce: Spread a generous layer of your homemade (or store-bought) honey mustard sauce evenly on the inside of both slices of bread.
- Layer the Turkey: Arrange your thinly sliced turkey breast on one side of the bread, folding the turkey slices slightly for height and texture.
- Add the Avocado: Spoon or arrange your sliced avocado generously over the turkey.
- Introduce the Greens and Optional Toppings: Place your crisp greens on top of the avocado and layer any optional toppings like tomato, cheese, or red onion.
- Close and Serve: Place the other slice of bread (sauce-side down) on top of your fillings, gently press down on the sandwich, and slice diagonally for easier eating.
