Turkey and Avocado Super Sandwich
What makes this Turkey and Avocado Sandwich so super you ask?! Well other than the fact that it is absolutely d'lishes and super nutritious, it only takes about four minutes to make and requires only three ingredients... pretty super, huh?!
I mean, tell me you don't wanna just take a bite of this thing!?
Seriously though, this sandwich is SO crazy good and I'll tell you why.
First you've got your toasted Cinnamon Raisin Ezekiel bread - so good! Great texture, nice and hearty with just a kiss of sweetness. Then you're got your mashed avocado that is not only rich and creamy but is packed with healthy fats too! Top that with some lean sliced turkey breast which adds yet another texture and a bit of salty goodness and you've got a simple super sandwich to die for.
There is just something about the salty-sweet combo with the rich and creamy avocado that is seriously gonna knock your socks off! But don't try skipping the cinnamon raisin bread because this baby is a major player in our super sandwich (it's ALL about the salty-sweet thing).
Not to mention your getting a good complex carb, with some lean protein and healthy fat in this one simple Super Sandwich! Balance at it's best:).
So there ya have it... a little more proof that you can create nutritious and d'lishes with very little time and very little effort!

Perfect timing. You just inspired my lunch! Though now I wish I had some of that cinnamon raisin bread. I only have the plain at home.

Amy - I'm sure it will still be d'lishes but when you get a achance you HAVE to try it with the cinnamon raisin bread.
Maya - No guac... I just mash up the avocado as is. It's so good:)

the problem here for me is one more time to find the ingredients..in this case the bread.
but my favourite sandwich is some whole wheat spelt bread with goat cream cheese that I mix with chopped anchovies, chopped black olives and chopped arugula. spread it on the bread , few slices of tomatoes and I just love it. Really good.
I like your idea too, especially because of the sweet and salty thing. great.

I have never thought of using the raisin bread- I'll try it. But here's another little open faced sandwich thingy I do:
Toast some regular Ezekiel bread.
spread some goat cheese across it
slice avocados on top of that
drizzle all of it with cold pressed olive oil (this is the key)
and finish off with salt and pepper
TO DIE FOR! I usually have it alone but its a great to accompany a salad. So rich and delightful. mmmmm
