Turkey Avocado Bagel

A turkey avocado bagel is a fresh and filling lunch or brunch idea made with toasted bagel halves, sliced turkey, creamy avocado, tomato, and greens. Use a bagel slicer to cut the bagel evenly before adding the toppings, so each half is easier to build and serve.

Best for: lunch, brunch, simple weekday meals
Tool used: bagel slicer
Prep time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 sesame, plain, or everything bagel
• 2 tbsp cream cheese or light mayo
• 3-4 slices turkey
• 1/2 avocado, sliced
• 2 tomato slices
• Baby spinach or lettuce
• Black pepper
• Lemon juice, optional

How to Make It

Use the bagel slicer to cut the bagel evenly. Toast both halves until the edges are lightly crisp.

Spread cream cheese or light mayo over each toasted bagel half. Add baby spinach, folded turkey slices, tomato, and avocado.

Finish with black pepper and a small squeeze of lemon juice if you want a brighter flavor.

Serving Tip

Serve the bagel open-faced for a lighter lunch, or place the two halves together for a fuller sandwich. For meal prep, keep the avocado separate until ready to eat so it stays fresh.
