Ingredients

4 slices of bread
½ lb turkey slices
1 avocado
Handful of mixed greens
¼ cup mayo
2 tsp sriracha
Juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp olive oil or butter

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, lime juice, and sriracha until well combined.
Step 2: Slice the avocado and assemble the sandwiches by spreading half of the mayo mixture on two slices of bread each. Layer with turkey slices, avocado, and mixed greens.
Step 3: Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices to close them.
Step 4: Heat a skillet over low-medium heat and add the olive oil or butter once hot.
Step 5: Place the sandwiches in the skillet and toast for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add sliced tomatoes or a sprinkle of your favorite cheese like cheddar or pepper jack.
Use whole grain or sourdough bread for a heartier texture.
If you prefer less heat, reduce the sriracha or substitute with a milder hot sauce.

Storage

Store any leftover sandwich components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble and toast fresh before serving to maintain crispness. Prepared sandwiches are best enjoyed immediately and do not reheat well.

Sandwich Ingredients

4 slices of bread
½ lb turkey slices
1 avocado
Handful of mixed greens

Spicy Mayo Sauce

¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tsp sriracha
Juice of 1 lime

For Toasting

1 tbsp olive oil or butter

Instructions

Prepare Spicy Mayo: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together the mayonnaise, lime juice, and sriracha until smooth and well combined to create the spicy mayo sauce.
Assemble Sandwiches: Lay out the bread slices and layer half of the turkey slices, mashed or sliced avocado, and mixed greens on two slices. Spread half of the spicy mayo mixture evenly over each assembled sandwich and top with the remaining bread slices to complete two sandwiches.
Heat Skillet: Place a skillet over low medium heat and allow it to warm up. This gentle heat ensures the bread toasts evenly without burning.
Add Oil or Butter: Once the skillet is heated, add the olive oil or butter and let it melt, coating the surface to give the sandwiches a crispy, golden texture when toasted.
Toast Sandwiches: Place the prepared sandwiches carefully in the skillet. Toast them for a few minutes on each side, pressing gently if desired, until the bread is golden brown and the inside is warmed through.
Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice if preferred, and serve immediately while warm and flavorful.
