Back when Zach and I were dating, my mom introduced us to the goodness of turkey and avocado sandwiches. That was all she would put on them – turkey and avocado, plus a little bit of salt and pepper. It was super simple, but we LOVED them. Then after we got married, we had a 36 hour car drive to Alabama that we were supposed to make and since we were a couple of newlyweds with no money, we decided it’d probably be easier to pack our lunches. What was the only lunch we ate that entire trip? You got it – turkey and avocado sandwiches. We still love them to this day, but we’ve taken things up a notch to make them a little bit tastier. We added bacon {who doesn’t love bacon?!}, tomato, and mozzarella cheese. This is definitely my favorite sandwich as of late. I crave it all the time and I love that I can make it at home!
Turkey, Bacon, and Avocado Panini
Makes 1 sandwich
Ingredients:
- 1 Ciabatta Sandwich Roll
- 2 slices of mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 medium tomato, sliced
- 5 thin slices of Turkey
- 3 slices bacon, cut in half and cooked {for a total of 6 pieces}
- 1/4 avocado, mashed
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. salted butter
Directions:
- If it’s not already cut, cut your Sandwich Roll in half.
- On one half, layer the cheese, tomato slices, turkey, and bacon.
- On the other half of bread, spread the mashed avocado and sprinkle with salt.
- Press the two halves of bread together and then butter each side with 1/2 tsp. butter.
- Cook in a frying pan on medium/low heat {Or if you have a George Foreman, use that. It works like a charm!}, until both sides are lightly browned and cheese is melted.
I can almost guarantee that once you taste this, you’ll be hooked. Best. Sandwich. Ever.
