Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices artisan sourdough, multi-grain, or whole wheat bread (or brioche bun)
  • 46 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

  1. 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.
  2. Slice your turkey breast.
  3. Prepare your avocado: slice it or mash it lightly with a fork, adding a small squeeze of lemon or lime juice to prevent browning.
  4. Wash and dry your chosen greens.
  5. Slice any optional additions like tomato or red onion.
  6. Toast the Bread: Lightly toast two slices of your chosen bread until golden brown and slightly crisp.
  7. 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.
  8. Layer the Turkey: Arrange your thinly sliced turkey breast on one side of the bread, folding the turkey slices slightly for height and texture.
  9. Add the Avocado: Spoon or arrange your sliced avocado generously over the turkey.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.

Nutrition

Keywords: To enhance the honey mustard, adjust the ratios of honey, mustard, and mayonnaise to your taste. For the best experience, enjoy the sandwich immediately after assembly, as the avocado and bread are freshest then.
