LOADED AVOCADO BLT
My husband invented this twist on a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. I like to make it with extra slices of bacon; if you want, you can leave the Gorgonzola cheese out of the avocado spread. -Lori Grant, Kingsport, Tennessee

ROAST TURKEY, AVOCADO AND BACON SANDWICH
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- To prepare the Roast Turkey: toss the herbs and butter into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until green and smooth. Rub the turkey breast with half of the herbed butter and with salt and pepper. Place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan and put in the oven. Let the turkey cook for 1 hour, basting every 20 minutes with the butter and pan juices. The turkey is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Let rest for 15 minutes on the cutting board.
- To assemble the sandwich: spread a thin layer of the remaining butter on 1 piece of the bread. Place 1 slice of the cheese and several slices of the turkey breast on unbuttered side of the bread. Peel and slice the avocado, toss with the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add avocado slices, crispy bacon slices, lettuce and another slice of fontina cheese to the top of that. Sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Slather the remaining piece of bread with the butter and place on unbuttered side out, on top of the bacon.
- Heat a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, swirling the pan around to coat. Put the sandwich in the pan and weigh it down with a heavy pot or can (or wrap an ordinary brick in aluminum foil and set it on top to compress the sandwich.) Toast for 1 minute, turn the sandwich over before the bread begins to burn. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green and slightly soft to the touch. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have brown spots.
- Roast the turkey properly: To ensure that the turkey is cooked through, make sure to roast it at the correct temperature and for the appropriate amount of time. A meat thermometer is a useful tool for checking the internal temperature of the turkey.
- Use high-quality bacon: Thick-cut bacon will provide a more satisfying crunch and flavor to the BLT.
- Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it hold up better to the sandwich fillings and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Add your favorite toppings: Feel free to add other toppings to your BLT, such as cheese, lettuce, tomato, or sprouts.
