Turkey & Avocado Toast Recipe
Introduction
Turkey and avocado toast is a quick, nutritious, and delicious option for breakfast or a light meal. Combining creamy avocado with savory turkey on toasted ciabatta makes for a satisfying bite every time.
Ingredients
- 1 avocado
- Juice of ½ lime
- 2-3 small slices ciabatta bread
- 100g turkey slices
- Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Halve the avocado and remove the stone. Scoop the flesh into a bowl.
- Step 2: Add the lime juice and a pinch of salt to the avocado, then mash it roughly with a fork until slightly chunky.
- Step 3: Toast the ciabatta slices until they are golden and crisp.
- Step 4: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted ciabatta.
- Step 5: Top each toast with slices of turkey and finish with a sprinkle of ground black pepper.
Tips & Variations
- For extra freshness, add a few cherry tomato halves or a handful of baby spinach on top.
- Swap lime juice for lemon juice if preferred; both brighten the avocado flavor nicely.
- Use whole grain or sourdough bread instead of ciabatta for a different texture.
Storage
This toast is best enjoyed immediately as avocado can brown quickly. If you need to store, keep the mashed avocado in an airtight container with a squeeze of lime juice to slow browning for up to 1 day in the fridge. Toast and turkey are best kept separately and assembled just before eating.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use frozen turkey slices for this recipe?
It’s best to use fresh or fully thawed turkey slices for optimal texture and flavor. If using frozen, thaw completely before assembling to avoid soggy toast.
What can I use instead of ciabatta bread?
Any sturdy bread like sourdough, whole grain, or multigrain works well. Choose a bread that toasts nicely and can hold the toppings without becoming soggy.
