  • 1/4 medium Avocado
  • 2 slices Tomato
  • 2 leaves Lettuce
  • 1 thin slice Red Onion
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard (Low-Sodium)
  • to taste Black Pepper

Preparation

Start by gently mashing the avocado in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of black pepper. This will serve as a creamy, flavorful spread.

Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto one slice of the low-sodium bread. Next, spread the low-sodium Dijon mustard on the other slice of bread.

Layering the Sandwich

On top of the avocado, layer the lean turkey breast, tomato slices, lettuce leaves, and the thin slice of red onion. Ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed for the best flavor in every bite.

Final Touches

Place the other slice of bread (mustard-side down) on top of the fillings to complete the sandwich. Cut the sandwich in half, if desired, and serve immediately.
