My Hyper-Fixation Lunch!

I’m hooked on a sandwich from my local bakery-cafe and pick it up way too often, so I made my own with leftover turkey.

The results? Fantastic. The flavors and textures are spot-on, and the sauce seals the deal. I mix mayo, mustard, and sour cream until it tastes just like the cafe’s, simple and reliable. Swap in any fillings you like, but don’t skip that sauce!

Ingredients used in the recipe including cheese, vegetables, meat, bacon, and mayo.

Turkey Bacon Avocado Sandwich Ingredients

Sourdough bread: Go for a good sturdy artisan sourdough you enjoy.
Provolone cheese: Mild and creamy; a great complement to the meats.

Deli turkey: Choose fresh deli slices or use leftover Thanksgiving turkey if you’ve got some!
Lettuce: Fresh, crunchy leafy lettuce or Romaine.
Avocado: Use ripe avocado for a creamier texture; slice thinly.
Tomato: Juicy, ripe slices; add a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Red onion: Thin slices for a peppery touch.
Sandwich sauce: Whisk together mayo, sour cream, and mustard for a creamy, tangy layer.

Mixing all sauce ingredients in a bowl, then spreading them onto a bread slice and adding lettuce and avocado.
