A Better Turkey Sandwich
Sandwiches are easy, and for most on-the-go women, they're a lunchtime staple. So what happens when the plain ol' PB&J or turkey and cheese sandwich starts to get stale? Well, that's when it's time to build A Better Turkey Sandwich. The key to the most delicious turkey sandwiches is all in the toppings, so try this special meal with an extra-special spread. You'll be amazed at how delicious it tastes, and it'll only take about five more minutes to prepare.
Ingredients:
- 2 slices 100% whole wheat bread
- 3-4 slices deli style turkey (look for preservative-free options)
- 1 slice cheddar cheese (feel free to sub the cheese of your choice)
- 1/2 cup pre-cut, pre-washed greens (I used a Spring Mix box of greens)
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1 single-serve cup lowfat Greek yogurt (I used Olympus Greek Yogurt)
- 2-4 tablespoons fresh salsa, depending on taste preference
- 1 teaspoon dill (I used freeze dried)
- 1 teaspoon chives (I used freeze dried)
Alternative Ingredients:
- Sliced tomatoes
- Sliced onions
- Sliced cucumbers
Instructions:
- Mix Greek yogurt with salsa, dill and chives in a bowl. This will make more spread than you'll use for a single sandwich, so be prepared to put the remaining spread in a sealed container for refrigeration.
- Spread mixture over one piece of bread.
- Add avocado, cheese, greens and turkey. Serve with a side of fresh fruit.
