Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large lettuce leaves (e.g., romaine or butter lettuce)
- 4 ounces Sliced turkey breast (cooked, deli-style or leftover)

Directions
Step 1
Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves gently using a paper towel. Choose large, intact leaves that can hold the sandwich filling.
Step 2
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Mash it with a fork in a small bowl until creamy, or slice thinly if you prefer a chunkier texture.
Step 3
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and/or Dijon mustard on two of the lettuce leaves if desired.
Step 4
Lay 2 ounces of sliced turkey breast evenly on each of the prepared lettuce leaves.
Step 5
Layer the mashed or sliced avocado on top of the turkey.
Step 6
Add a couple of tomato slices on top of the avocado, followed by a few slices of red onion if using.
Step 7
Sprinkle each sandwich with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Place the remaining two lettuce leaves on top to create a sandwich, gently pressing the edges together to seal the contents.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Carb Turkey and Avocado Sandwich!
