It's funny how any sandwich with avocado, sprouts, tomatoes, and lettuce in it winds up with "California" somewhere in the name. This recipe is not exactly a healthier alternative with all the mayonnaise and avocado in there, but if its low-fat you're looking for, simply substitute a "light" mayonnaise for the regular stuff, ditch the avocado, and you're on your way to the beach.

2 slices wheat bread
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/4 pound deli-sliced turkey breast
2 slices tomato
1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts
1 leaf green leaf lettuce
1/2 small avocado
salt

1. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one face of each slice of bread.

2. Assemble the sandwich by stacking the turkey on the mayonnaise side of one slice of bread.

3. Place the tomato slices on the turkey.

4. Arrange the sprouts on top of the tomato slices.

5. Place the lettuce leaf on the sprouts.

6. Slice the avocado into thin slices and arrange the slices on the lettuce.

7. Top off the sandwich by placing a slice of bread, mayo side down, on the avocado.

8. Cut the sandwich twice, diagonally from corner to corner, making four traingular pieces.

9. Stick a toothpick straight down through the middle of each sandwich piece to hold it together.
