This Turkey Avocado BLT is what a sandwich should be. It’s thick, hearty, flavorful, full of bacon, juicy tomatoes, and roasted turkey. Plus, the addition of the avocado and mayo, really takes this sandwich to a whole new level.
Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the basic BLT, but adding the avocado and turkey, really changes things up a bit.
This sandwich will be perfect for lunch, dinner, a picnic, or on road trips. Just pack everything separately in a cooler and assemble once you are ready to stop for a bite to eat.
Of course, the sides you choose for this are equally important. Some great ideas are a Tomato and Mozzarella Salad, Broccoli Cheddar Soup, or this yummy Amish Broccoli Salad.
