Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Turkey breast, sliced
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 1 medium Avocado
- 4 slices Bacon
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese, sliced
- 2 leaves Lettuce
- 4 slices Tomato, sliced
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove and set on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
In a small bowl, mince the garlic and mix it with mayonnaise to make a garlic aioli. Set aside.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Mash it with a fork and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Spread the garlic aioli on the unbuttered side of two slices.
Layer the sandwiches starting with the turkey breast, followed by the cheddar cheese, bacon, sliced tomato, lettuce, and mashed avocado. Top with the remaining slices of bread (buttered side up).
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately.
