Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 6–8 slices deli turkey (about 6 ounces / 170 grams)
- 2 slices provolone, Swiss, or cheddar cheese (optional)
Vegetables and Bread:
- 4 slices of whole grain, sourdough, or sandwich bread (toasted if desired)
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 4 tomato slices
- 2 leaves of romaine or butter lettuce
Honey Mustard Spread:
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Seasonings:
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Whisk the honey mustard sauce in a small mixing bowl, combining mayonnaise (or yogurt), Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform consistency.
- Generously coat one side of each bread slice with the prepared honey mustard sauce, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Arrange turkey slices evenly across two bread slices, creating a uniform protein layer as the sandwich foundation.
- If incorporating cheese, carefully place it atop the turkey, allowing the meat to serve as a stable base.
- Layer fresh tomato slices directly onto the cheese or turkey, creating a vibrant and juicy element.
- Position creamy avocado segments alongside the tomato, ensuring balanced distribution across the sandwich surface.
- Delicately sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper over the avocado and tomato to enhance their natural flavors.
- Gently place crisp lettuce leaves on top of the seasoned vegetables, adding a refreshing textural component.
- Complete the sandwich by positioning the remaining bread slice sauce-side down, pressing lightly to secure all ingredients.
- Optional: Slice diagonally and serve immediately to maintain optimal texture and temperature.
Notes
- Customize your honey mustard by adjusting the honey-to-mustard ratio for a tangier or sweeter flavor profile.
- Swap mayo with Greek yogurt for a lighter, protein-packed condiment that adds creamy texture and reduces calories.
- Toast bread lightly to prevent sogginess and create a crisp foundation that holds sandwich ingredients securely.
- Prevent avocado browning by squeezing fresh lemon juice over slices, which helps maintain their vibrant green color and fresh taste.
