Ingredients:

1 medium sweet potato (about 7 1/2 ounces or 210 grams), peeled
1 tablespoon oil (Canola or Olive)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt, add more to taste
2 ounces deli-sliced chicken
1/4 cup spinach

Directions:

Shredd the sweet potato length-wise with a large grater

Over medium-high heat, pour the olive oil in a sauté pan. Once the pan is hot, add in the sweet potato shreds and stir. Let the noodles cook for about 4 minutes and season with garlic powder, thyme, and salt.

Turn off the heat. In a bowl, mix the cooked potato shreds with the egg until well-incorporated.

Turn on the oven to about 200c. When the potato shreds are cool enough to handle, form them into two squares (about the size of a slice of sandwich bread) directly on the pan. Pop them into the oven and bake each side for about 3-5 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly.

Once the sweet potato “bread” is cool enough to handle, start assembling the sandwich.  Place on part of "bread" on a plate, stack it with turkey, tomatoes, and spinach and top with the remaining sweet potato bread.
