Spicy aioli (see recipe below)
4 slices picante provolone

  • Assembling the Sandwich: Once the turkey is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Slice the turkey and arrange it on the bottom slice of bread. Top with the tomatoes, onions, and avocado. Close the sandwich with the remaining slice of bread.
