- Mayonnaise or Aioli: 2–3 tablespoons for spreading

- Salt and Pepper: To taste

Instructions
- Toast the Bread
Toast all three slices of bread until golden brown. Set aside to cool slightly. - Prepare the Avocado
Slice or mash the avocado. If mashing, add a squeeze of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper to enhance its flavor. - Layer the Ingredients
- Spread mayonnaise or aioli on one side of each slice of bread.
- Place lettuce on the bottom slice, followed by turkey and tomato slices.
- Add the middle slice of bread (mayo side down) on top of the first layer. Spread the top of the middle slice with more mayonnaise if desired.

- Top It Off
Place the last slice of bread (mayo side down) on top of the sandwich. Gently press the sandwich to hold the layers together. - Slice and Serve
Use a sharp knife to cut the sandwich into halves or quarters. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
