Turkey Tomato and Avocado Sandwiches on Multigrain Bread

Turkey, Tomato and Avocado Sandwiches on Multigrain Bread

A good recipe for leftover turkey, this sandwich is quick to prepare, real delicious, and super healthy. Whole wheat bread is spread with a special sauce made with yogurt, Dijon mustard, and dried dill, layered with slices of cooked turkey breasts and garnished with ripe avocado slices and roma tomato slices in this filling meal or snack. Serve with baked potato chips for a full on feast. 
Avocado slices give a rich and creamy flavor to the turkey sandwich and also lends it a Central American flavor. If you want something more special and have some time in your hands, you can garnish the sandwich with guacamole instead of plain avocado slices. Guacamole is a Central American or Mexican avocado dip that consists of mashed avocados seasoned with onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and red chilies. You can omit the chilies if you donĂ¢��t want it spicy. Guacamole can be chunky or completely mashed depending on your preference. Mango slices and roasted peppers also go well with guacamole and make a festive and super sandwich. 
If you love turkey sandwiches and donĂ¢��t mind the calories and extra fat, consider adding bacon strips to the sandwich. Together with the avocado and tomatoes, turkey with bacon sandwich is one tasty dish that no one will be able to resist. For an even more irresistible treat, add a slice of cheese or use cream cheese instead of yogurt, seasoned with chives or dill or both.        
For an Italian twist, use crusty ciabatta bread and add olives, capers and cucumbers. Pile the sandwich with a mix of pickled vegetables like carrots, onions, celery, cauliflower, and zucchini. Grilled eggplant also makes a smashing ingredient for making extraordinary turkey sandwich. You can also make a super club sandwich and include bacon, eggs, ham, and lettuce making it a double or triple-decker club turkey sandwich.
