Let's get real here. A turkey sandwich is just not exciting, or inspiring. It's not something I ever order off a menu, and it's the kind of thing I make when I don't have anything in the house and I need something that's going to be healthy, yummy and not take me too much time.
This is NOT that kind of turkey sandwich. Tonights dinner STARTED like that turkey sandwich, but it quickly transformed itself into the Turkey Sandwich of Extreme Awesomeness (which is most definitely a proper noun in this case).
Here's the story. I didn't want to go get more groceries, but my supplies were relatively limited. I had some Trader Joe's smoked turkey and decided to make a turkey sandwich with whatever was sitting around the house. So far, so boring. What was sitting around the house was the following: lettuce, half a tomato, an avocado, greek yogurt, feta cheese and bread. I decided to use all of it, and thus, the best turkey sandwich I have ever made was born. Here's the recipe:
Turkey Sandwich of Extreme Awesomeness
Two slices whole wheat bread
4-8 slices of smoked turkey breast (or as much as you will enjoy eating)
1/4 of an avocado
1 Tbsp fat free Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp feta cheese
Lettuce
Tomato
Salt
Turn on the broiler on your oven, and set it to high. Put the bread under the broiler, but keep an eye on it as it will tend to burn (this would be even better done in a toaster oven, but I don't have one).
Meanwhile, smash the avocado and yogurt into a guacamole like paste, and add a little salt.
Once the bread is toasted on one side, flip it over and put the feta cheese onto one of the slices. Continue to broil until both pieces of toast are crispy, and the feta is melted slightly. This shouldn't take long.
Take the bread out of the oven, spread both sides with the avocado spread, being careful on the feta side, because the feta will stay somewhat crumbly most likely.
Add the turkey, lettuce, and tomato to one side, top the sandwich with the other piece of bread, slice and consume!
WARNING! This sandwich is drippy, and avocado can stain your clothes, eat over a plate. Also, it's highly addictive. Highly. Addictive.
Enjoy!
