Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 12 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 8 slices whole grain, sourdough, or ciabatta bread
  • 12 ounces sliced deli turkey breast
  • 1 large ripe avocado, sliced
  • 4 slices provolone, Swiss, or cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 4 lettuce leaves
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 slices cooked bacon (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons butter or olive oil (optional, for toasting the bread)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt until smooth.
  2. Lightly toast the bread with butter or olive oil if desired.
  3. Spread a generous layer of chipotle mayo on one side of each slice of bread.
  4. Layer the lettuce, sliced turkey, cheese if using, avocado, tomato, red onion, and bacon if using.
  5. Top with the remaining slice of bread.
  6. Gently press the sandwich together, slice in half, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use grilled or leftover roasted turkey instead of deli turkey for extra flavor.
  • Swap pepper jack for a spicier cheese or omit the cheese if preferred.
  • Add sliced cucumber, spinach, or arugula for extra freshness.
  • Prepare the chipotle mayo up to 5 days in advance and refrigerate in an airtight container.
  • Assemble the sandwich just before serving to keep the avocado fresh and the bread from becoming soggy.
