Slice the tomato and red onion into thin slices, setting them aside for assembly.
Lay out two large romaine lettuce leaves per sandwich formation. These will act as the base and top for your sandwich.
Spread half of the avocado mixture on one lettuce leaf for each sandwich.
Layer 4 slices of smoked turkey over the avocado spread.
Add a couple of slices of tomato and red onion over the turkey.
