    Guacamole is the perfect sandwich spread – anywhere you would add some avocado slices, think about using some guac instead. There is a prepared one that is just fantastic – Wholly Guacamole. It is super fresh tasting and available in the refrigerated section of your grocery store. The guac adds great flavor, moistness, and a healthful amount of MUFAs for your diet :)

    The caramelized onions make this taste totally different than just a regular turkey sandwich – it’s such a filling and satisfying sandwich that it makes just as good a dinner meal as it does lunch. You might even want to serve it open faced and add a tablespoon or so of turkey gravy. This has enormous flavor.

    Warm Turkey Sandwich with Caramelized Onions

    Warm Turkey Sandwich with Caramelized Onions

    4 servings
    267 calories per serving

    1 T oil
    2 medium sized onions, sliced thinly
    Salt and pepper to taste
    24 slices thin deli turkey (Oscar Mayer makes a great pre-packaged deli turkey)
    4 Arnold Select Thins (thin rolls)
    4 T low fat mayo
    4 butter or green leaf lettuce leaves

    Heat oil in a skillet and then cook onions 5 minutes on high heat. Reduce heat to medium low and continue cooking 20 minutes or until golden brown. You may need to add hot water a tablespoon at a time to keep them from drying out. When done, season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and keep warm.

    Place turkey in pan to briefly heat it. Then place it onto rolls that have been spread with mayo. Top with onions and add lettuce leaves.
