Ingredients
You’ll need the following ingredients to make this Turkey Breakfast Sandwich:
Ingredient Notes
Turkey Lunch Meat: Oven-roasted turkey works well, but smoked turkey can add extra flavor. Thinly sliced deli turkey is easiest to layer.
Avocado: Use a ripe avocado that is slightly soft when pressed. If your avocado is very large, two slices may be enough.
Red Onion: Slice the onion thinly for the best texture. Soaking slices in cold water for 10 minutes can help reduce the sharp onion flavor.
Cucumber: English cucumbers work especially well because they have fewer seeds and a thinner skin.
Mayonnaise: Regular, light, or avocado oil mayonnaise can all be used.
English Muffin: Whole wheat, sourdough, or multigrain English muffins all work well.
Recipe Variations
Add Cheese or an Egg: Add cheddar, provolone, Swiss, pepper jack, a fried egg, or scrambled egg.
Change the Bread: Try a bagel, croissant, sandwich thin, or toasted sourdough.
Make It Spicy or Swap the Protein: Add hot sauce, jalapeños, or spicy mayo, or use chicken, ham, roast beef, or turkey bacon.
