This Turkey, Bacon, and Avocado Panini is definitely my favorite sandwich as of late. I crave it all the time and I love that I can make it at home!
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.
I can almost guarantee that once you taste this, you’ll be hooked. Best. Sandwich. Ever.

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.

Yum, this is going on my shopping list. 🙂
Making this on Wednesday this week!
I made this today; only I used black forest ham, munster cheese with sandwich spread and gluten free bread 🙂
This looks ooey-gooey delicious!
