Turkey, Bacon, Avocado, and Cherry Tomato Salad on Whole Wheat





Yields
Makes 8 to 10 half-sandwiches or 4 or 5 whole sandwiches

The classic club-sandwich combo of roasted turkey, smoky bacon, creamy avocado, and sweet, juicy tomato is even better when you toss it with a creamy lime dressing. Prep and Cook Time: about 2 1/2 hours. Notes: Using good store-bought roasted turkey, if you can find it, cuts out 1 1/2 hours of cooking time.

 1 bone-in half turkey breast (about 2 lbs.; see Notes)
 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
 1/4 cup mayonnaise
 1/4 cup sour cream
 1/2 teaspoon lime zest
 2 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
 3 tablespoons chopped chives
 2 avocados, cut into 1/2-in. dice (about 2 cups)
 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut into 1/2-in. dice
 6 thick slices crisply cooked bacon, crumbled
 8 to 10 slices hearty whole-grain wheat bread
Step 1
1

Preheat oven to 425°. Put turkey breast in a 9- by 13-in. roasting pan and rub with olive oil. Sprinkle all over with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper and rub in evenly. Roast turkey until the thickest part of the breast reaches 160°, about 70 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skin, then cut meat into 1/2-in. dice (you will have about 3 cups turkey).
