Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups cooked turkey, diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 2–3 leaves of lettuce (your choice: romaine, iceberg, etc.)
  • 4 slices of whole grain bread
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
  • Optional: 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Turkey Salad Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the diced turkey, diced avocado, optional red onion, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Drizzle with the lemon or lime juice to keep the avocado from browning and add flavor. Mix well until everything is combined.
  2. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste and give the mixture another stir.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich: Lay out the slices of whole grain bread. Divide the turkey salad mixture evenly between two slices. Layer with diced tomatoes and lettuce leaves. Top with the remaining bread slices.
  4. Serve: Cut each sandwich in half (diagonally or straight down the middle, as preferred) and enjoy!

Notes

Making a sandwich might seem simple, but the right combination of ingredients can elevate it to something special. This Turkey Salad Sandwich does just that. For best results, make sure your turkey is well-seasoned, and your avocado is ripe. If you’re packing this for later, consider packing the ingredients separately and assembling just before eating to keep the bread from getting soggy. Pair this sandwich with a side salad, some vegetable chips, or even a bowl of soup for a well-rounded meal.
