Southwestern Turkey Club


Serves 4
8 slices bacon, (8 ounces)
4 turkey cutlets, (4 ounces each)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeno chiles
12 whole-wheat sandwich bread, lightly toasted
1 tomato, thinly sliced
Directions
Working in two batches if necessary, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes per side, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons rendered fat from skillet.
Season turkey generously with salt and pepper. Add to skillet, and cook over medium heat until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In a small bowl, mash avocado, lime juice, and jalapenos with a fork; season with salt and pepper.
Spread avocado mixture on one side of each slice of toast. Layer turkey, bacon, tomato, and toast to form four triple-decker sandwiches. To serve, skewer with toothpicks; slice in half with a serrated knife.
