Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Lay out the 4 slices of whole wheat bread on a clean cutting board or plate.

  2. 2

    Spread the Condiments

    Evenly spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise and 1/2 tablespoon of Dijon mustard on each slice of bread.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 3

    Add Turkey and Cheese

    On two slices of bread, layer 4 oz of turkey breast evenly over the mayonnaise and mustard. Place 2 slices of Swiss cheese on top of the turkey.

  2. 4

    Add Vegetables

    On the same two slices, place 1 slice of tomato and 1 lettuce leaf. If using, add 1 slice of avocado and 1 slice of pickle on top.

  3. 5

    Complete the Sandwich

    Top with the remaining two slices of bread, condiment side down, to complete the sandwich.

Cooking (Optional)

  1. 6

    Grill the Sandwich (for hot version)

    If you prefer a hot sandwich, heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
