Lay out the 4 slices of whole-grain bread on a clean surface.
Spread 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Place 2 slices of low-sodium turkey breast and 2 slices of reduced-fat Swiss cheese onto 2 of the bread slices.
Top the turkey slices with 1/2 cup of fresh spinach leaves per sandwich, spreading them out evenly.
Close the sandwiches with the remaining 2 slices of bread, mustard side down.
Lightly spread 1 teaspoon of olive oil spread (or heart-healthy margarine) on the outer side of each slice of bread.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat the surface with avocado oil cooking spray.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let cool for 1-2 minutes, then slice each sandwich in half diagonally for serving.
Serve warm with a side of fresh salad or a bowl of heart-healthy vegetable soup if desired.
