I’m a BIG sandwich lover and one of my favorites is the Kneader’s Turkey Bacon and Avocado sandwich.

It has big pieces of pulled turkey, bacon, avocado all served on their delicious focaccia bread.

This is my take on the sandwich and it works because it’s:

  • Made with common condiments. The sauce may be special, but it’s made with ingredients you probably already have in your refrigerator.
  • Affordable. Pulled turkey is delicious, but deli turkey is often cheaper and will still taste delicious.
  • Fresh and scrumptious! The savory turkey and bacon combine with the fresh vegetables and creamy sauce to make this a sandwich you’ll want to make more than once.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Ingredients on white table including ciabatta rolls, lettuce, deli turkey, and raw bacon.

Recipe Tips and Substitutions

The Kneader’s version of this sandwich is made on focaccia bread and comes with sliced red onion. Feel free to make it using those ingredients or you could try any of these bread options. You can’t go wrong!

  • Sourdough
  • Honey wheat
  • Multigrain
  • Artisan bread

To make this sandwich into sliders, follow the recipe, but use a 12 pack of your favorite rolls with the tops cut off. Layer all of the ingredients onto the bottom half of the rolls and then place the tops on. Brush the tops with butter. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

The Kneader’s version also uses pulled turkey instead deli turkey like I used in my pictures. Yes, pulled turkey will taste better, but deli turkey is often cheaper and more accessible. Use what you want! You could also substitute rotisserie chicken pieces.

This sandwich would be a great use of leftover Thanksgiving turkey.

Try one (or a few) of these sauces for a different flavor:

  • Ranch
  • Guacamole
  • Plain mayo
  • Mustard

Place the slices of cheese on the bread and toast them for an extra melty and crunchy texture!
