Type of DishGrilled Sandwich
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread (½-inch/1 cm thick slices)
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) butter, melted
- ¼ cup (50 ml) Guacamole (store-bought or see recipe)
- 2 oz (60 g) smoked turkey breast, thinly sliced
- 2 oz (60 g) Monterey Jack cheese, sliced
- 4 thin slices tomato
- 2 romaine lettuce leaves
- ¼ cup (50 ml) thinly sliced red onion
Instructions
-
Preheat panini grill to high.
-
Brush one side of each bread slice with butter. Place two slices on a work surface, buttered side down, and spread with guacamole. Evenly layer with turkey, cheese, tomato, lettuce and onion. Cover with top halves, buttered side up, and press gently to pack.
-
Place sandwiches in grill, close the top plate and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately.
-
Variations: Add crunch and flavor with crispy bacon strips. The precooked microwavable bacon now found in grocery stores is a real timesaver.
Notes
-
Adding crushed baked tortilla chips to the filling will make this recipe a hit with kids and young adults.
-
Serve with salsa on the side or add it to the sandwich before pressing.

Guacamole makes everything better. Such a great twist on a traditional turkey club!
