Method

Preparation of Garlic Mayo

  1. 1

    Make the Garlic Mayo

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic clove, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Set aside.

Assembling the Turkey Melt

  1. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 3

    Prepare the Tomato and Avocado

    Slice the tomato and avocado. Set aside.

  3. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On one slice of sourdough bread, spread a generous amount of garlic mayo. Layer with sliced turkey, Swiss cheese, crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato slices, and avocado. Top with the second slice of bread.

  4. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    In the same skillet, add a little butter if desired, and heat over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
