Method
Prepare Spread & Avocado
- 1
Make the spread
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, 1/8 tsp salt, and 1/16 tsp black pepper. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
- 2
Prepare the avocado
Halve and pit the avocado. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash lightly with a fork so some texture remains. Stir in the remaining pinch of salt (about 1/16 tsp) and a tiny pinch of pepper. If you prefer slices instead of mashed, thinly slice the avocado and toss gently with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Assemble Sandwich
- 3
- 4
Spread the mayonnaise-Dijon mixture evenly on the inside of both slices of bread.
- 5
On the bottom slice, arrange the leaf lettuce to create a moisture barrier. Layer the sliced roasted turkey breast evenly over the lettuce.
- 6
If using cheese, place the slice on top of the turkey. Add tomato slices and red onion slices in an even layer.
- 7
Spoon the mashed avocado (or arrange avocado slices) over the tomato and onion. Sprinkle red pepper flakes if using and adjust additional salt and pepper to taste.
- 8
Top with the second slice of bread, spread side down. Press gently to compact the sandwich slightly.
- 9
Cut sandwich in half on the diagonal or down the middle. Serve immediately.
