This is a delicious recipe to use up any leftover turkey from the holidays! You can also make this using deli-sliced turkey. I have use provolone cheese in place of the mozza cheese. You can prepare these melts hours in advance, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados, peeled and mashed
2 -3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon garlic powder (or use a small amount of fresh minced garlic)
salt
black pepper
8 slices thick white bread or 8 slices whole wheat bread
1 lb thinly sliced turkey breast
8 slices tomatoes (sliced thin)
8 slices red onion rings, thinly sliced (can use more)
8 -12 slices cooked bacon
4 -8 slices mozzarella cheese (or to taste)
softened butter
Directions:
1. In a bowl stir together the avacado with mayonnaise and garlic until well combined; season lightly with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Divide and spread the mixture onto one side of the 4 bread slices.
3. Top evenly with turkey slices, 1-2 tomato slices, 1-2 onion slices/rings, 2-3 bacon slices and lastly the mozza cheese slices (1 or 2 slices).
4. Top with remaining bread slices.
5. Carefully spread soft butter onto the outside of each sandwich.
6. Place the buttered sandwiches on a baking sheet, then place a second baking sheet on top of the sandwiches.
7. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until golden.
8. Slice in half or into fourths.
9. Delicious!
