1. Toast bread. (Toasting is optional, but adds complexity to the flavor and texture.)
2. On half of the toasted bread slices, layer a leaf or two of lettuce, sliced turkey, and juicy tomato slices.
3. On the other half of the toasted bread slices, the alpha slices, line up the Fresh California Avocado slices. (Alternatively, smear the avocado.)
4. Add salt and pepper to taste, unite the two sides and dig in!

Serving Suggestions: For a delectable variation on your turkey sandwich theme: 1) add a couple of strips of cooked bacon; 2) slather the alpha slice with Dijon mustard, then smear the avocado half and press dried cranberries into the avocado; 3) roughly mash the avocado with lime and diced chipotle chili pepper before smearing; 4) substitute grilled chicken - boneless breast or thigh; 5) substitute smoked turkey for the natural. And remember that a Fresh California Avocado and Turkey Sandwich is one of life's basic pleasures that should be enjoyed often!

Beverage Pairings: Perfect with pomegranate juice or cranberry juice cocktail 

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
