Ingredients
- 3 strips thick bacon
- 2 slices good sandwich bread
- ¼ pound (113 grams) sliced turkey breast
- 2 tablespoons Japanese mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 2 tablespoons sliced scallions
- ½ ripe Haas avocado sliced
- Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cut the bacon slices in half and place in a cold frying pan. Set over medium heat and cook, turning occasionally, until crisped to your liking. Drain on paper towels.
- If you like, lightly toast the bread.
- Layer the turkey slices onto one slice of the bread. Top with an even layer of bacon.
- Onto the other slice of bread, spread the mayo and then the sriracha. Sprinkle with scallions. Layer on the avocado slices. Sprinkle the avocado with the salt and pepper.
- Close the sandwich by tipping the avocado-topped slice of bread onto the turkey-topped slice. Cut in half and serve right away.
Notes
- You can use any type of fairly large sliced bread that you like. Sourdough and seeded rye are fabulous choices, as is the whole wheat boule pictured here. The choice of whether to toast is up to you.
- This is an equally great sandwich to make with leftover Thanksgiving turkey (use sliced white meat) or deli-sliced turkey breast.
- Japanese mayo has a creamier texture and tangier taste with more umami. I adore it, but you can use regular mayo here if you like.
