GlazedGrape1596

This zesty turkey and avocado sandwich is crafted for flavor and health, making it ideal for anyone watching their carbs and managing diabetes. Using gluten-free bread and lean, nitrate-free turkey breast keeps it light, while mashed avocado brings healthy fats without the heaviness of mayo. A quick toss of baby greens with olive oil and red wine vinegar—echoing a chef’s trick to balance salt, fat, and acid—cuts through the richness and brightens every bite. Crisp, toasty bread and fresh toppings offer a satisfying crunch and freshness, making this sandwich both nourishing and delicious for lunch or a light dinner.

Ingredients

Instructions

Lightly toast the gluten-free bread until golden and crisp to add texture.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then spread evenly on two slices of the toasted bread.
Layer each sandwich with half the turkey slices, tomato, and red onion.
In a separate bowl, toss the baby greens with olive oil, red wine vinegar, a pinch of salt, and black pepper, balancing the acid and fat for a bright flavor.
Pile the seasoned greens onto the turkey, then top each with the remaining bread slices.
Press gently, slice in half, and serve immediately.
