Easy Turkey Sandwich

Ingredients

• 2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread
• 4 ounces of deli turkey breast, sliced thin
• 1 slice of cheddar or Swiss cheese
• 1/4 avocado, sliced (optional)
• 1/2 cup of fresh spinach or mixed greens
• 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Tomato slices (optional)
• Pickles or cucumber slices (optional)
• Red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
• Fresh herbs like basil or cilantro (optional)

Instructions

1. Start by preparing your ingredients. Wash and slice the vegetables as needed.
2. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a flavorful spread.
3. Lay the two slices of bread on a clean surface. Spread the mayonnaise mixture on one side of each slice.
4. On one slice of bread, layer the turkey slices evenly.
5. Add the cheese slice on top of the turkey. If using optional toppings like avocado or spinach, layer them on next.
6. Season with salt and pepper and add any additional toppings.
7. Top with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side down. Press down gently to help the sandwich hold together.
8. If you prefer a warm sandwich, heat a skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwich for 2-3 minutes per side.
9. Once done, remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it in half.
