Notes

  • For a make ahead healthy breakfast, cook the egg whites and assemble the sandwiches (without the avocado) up to one day ahead. Store assembled sandwiches in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave or toaster oven. Add fresh avocado just before eating.
  • To increase the protein content, use two whole eggs instead of just whites.
  • You can substitute the turkey with 2 ounces of smoked salmon for a different flavor profile.
