Recipe type: Sandwiches
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
  • For the tuna:
  • 3 cans (5 oz. each) solid white albacore tuna packed in water, drained
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ⅓-1/2 cup mayo
  • 2 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground mustard
  • ⅛-1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • ¼-1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons diced sweet pickles, plus 1½ teaspoons pickle juice (or just 2 tablespoons sweet relish)
  • ¼-1/3 cup diced celery
  • For the sandwiches:
  • 6 pieces of gluten free bread or 3 gluten free bagels or English muffins, halved
  • 1 large (or 2 small) avocados, sliced
  • 1 tomato, cut into ¼" slices
  • 4 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, cut into slices
  • 1 tablespoon fresh or dried oregano for garnishing
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lay bread or bagel or English muffin halves on baking sheet. Set aside.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, add drained tuna, Greek yogurt, ⅓ cup mayo, lemon juice, ground ginger, onion powder, garlic powder, ground mustard, ⅛ pepper, ¼ teaspoon salt, and diced pickles with pickle juice or relish. Mix and mash with a fork until desired consistency is reached. Add additional mayo, pepper, and salt if needed. Stir in diced celery.
  3. Top bread with about ¼-1/3 cup of tuna mixture. Add about 3 slices of avocado on top of each piece. Place a slice of tomato on top. Add cheese to cover tomato.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes until cheese is melted and starting to bubble and edges of bread are crisp. Increase heat to broiling and broil for 3-5 minutes until cheese is golden brown and bubbly. Watch closely so it doesn't burn.
  5. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh or dried oregano. Serve immediately.
