Ingredients
2 slices Artisan Sourdough Bread
4–6 ounces Roasted Turkey Breast
1/2 fruit Ripe Hass Avocado
2 thick slices Heirloom Tomato
1/2 cup Microgreens or Sprouts
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
1/2 teaspoon Raw Honey
Sea Salt & Black Pepper to Taste
Instructions
- Begin by heating a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Brush both sides of your sourdough slices with high-quality Olive Oil. Place the bread in the pan and sear until the surface is deeply golden and emits a nutty, toasted aroma
- In a small bowl, scoop out the flesh of half an avocado. Use a fork to gently mash it, leaving a few small chunks for texture. Stir in a pinch of sea salt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard mixed with a tiny drop of Honey on the bottom slice of toasted bread
- Drape the thinly sliced turkey breast over the mustard, folding it back and forth to create air pockets
- Place your thick heirloom tomato slices directly on top of the turkey and season with salt and pepper. Add a handful of microgreens
- Spread your seasoned avocado mash on the top slice of toasted sourdough, gently pressing down to marry the layers together
- Slice the sandwich diagonally with a sharp serrated knife and serve immediately
Notes
For gluten-free, use a gluten-free loaf or collard green wraps.
To prevent avocado from browning, mix with lemon juice before use.
