Tonight's Dinner: Sweet turkey sandwich

Dinnertime can be a mad rush. Kids have practice, dad works late and mom is tired. This sandwich might look basic, but it's filling and delicious! Sweet raisin pumpernickel bread is paired with fresh sliced turkey, homemade Russian dressing and any toppings you can imagine. Avocados bring a nice creaminess to the dish and provide a nice healthy dose of natural fat. This simple dish is also great for summer. It's 100 degrees outside. Who wants to stand over a stove?
