Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, try adding a slice of sharp cheddar or Swiss cheese before placing the second slice of bread.
• Use multigrain or sourdough bread for a different texture and taste.
• Swap turkey breast with grilled chicken or roast beef to vary protein options.
• To keep the sandwich fresh for later, pack the avocado slices separately and add them just before eating to prevent browning.

Storage

Store the sandwich wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To maintain freshness, especially of the avocado, it’s best to assemble the sandwich close to serving time or keep avocado slices separate and add them later. Reheat the sandwich lightly if using toasted bread, but it’s also delicious served cold.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of bread?
