Combining the flavors of savory turkey ham, fresh lettuce, and juicy tomato, all nestled between slices of whole-wheat bread, this sandwich is not only delicious but also a healthier alternative to more indulgent options. Follow these easy steps to prepare a delicious and satisfying sandwich.

Ingredients:

2 slices whole-wheat bread
54g
1 tbsp mayonnaise salad dressing
15g
3 oz turkey ham
81g
1 leaf lettuce
6g
1 slice tomatoes
20g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Ensure all ingredients are fresh.
- If you haven’t done so already, wash the lettuce leaf thoroughly under cold water and pat it dry with a paper towel.
- Slice the tomato if it’s not pre-sliced.
2. Toast the Bread (Optional):
- If you prefer a crunchier sandwich, lightly toast the 2 slices of whole-wheat bread until they are golden brown. This should take about 1-2 minutes in a toaster.
3. Spread the Mayonnaise:
- Take one of the slices of whole-wheat bread and spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise salad dressing evenly over one side. Use a butter knife to ensure an even layer for best flavor distribution.
4. Assemble the Sandwich:
- Lay the 3 oz of turkey ham evenly on top of the slice of bread with mayonnaise. Spread it out so that it covers the bread from edge to edge.
- Place the lettuce leaf on top of the turkey ham, ensuring it lays flat.
- Add the slice of tomato on top of the lettuce. If your tomato slice is large, you may want to cut it in half to fit the bread better.
5. Complete the Sandwich:
- Take the second slice of bread and place it on top of the stack, pressing down gently to keep the ingredients together.
6. Serve:
- Cut the sandwich in half diagonally or into rectangles if you prefer.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Tips:

- For extra flavor, consider toasting the whole-wheat bread to add a touch of crunch.

- If you prefer a healthier option, substitute the mayonnaise with a light or low-fat version.

- Feel free to add additional vegetables like cucumber slices or pickles for more texture and taste.

- Season the tomato slice with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance its flavor.

- For an extra layer of taste, try adding a slice of cheese such as Swiss or cheddar.

With just a handful of ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you’ve created a tasty and nutritious Turkey Ham Sandwich with Lettuce and Tomato. Whether you’re preparing it for a quick lunch at work or a simple meal at home, this sandwich is sure to hit the spot.
