Turkey Club

Healthy Fact of the Day

The Turkey Club sandwich offers a mix of nutrients but is also high in calories. Turkey provides lean protein, essential for muscle health and satiety. Avocado contributes heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and fiber. Tomatoes offer vitamin C and lycopene. To make it healthier, use whole grain bread for added fiber and nutrients. Consider turkey bacon or omit bacon to reduce saturated fat and sodium. Use mashed avocado as a spread instead of mayonnaise to boost nutrition and reduce calories. Adding extra vegetables like cucumber or sprouts can increase the fiber and nutrient content. While delicious, this sandwich is calorie-dense, so be mindful of portion sizes. Pairing half a sandwich with a side salad can create a more balanced meal.
