Do you love Panera Turkey Avocado BLT? You can make these at home for a fraction of the price!
I like to take dishes that I get out and try to make them at home. Sometimes I even like my version better and this Panera Turkey Avocado BLT is one of those!
Making them at home is very easy and you can control the amount of money you spend (even at the grocery store) on the ingredients you use. Choose your favorite brand of deli meat, or buy what is currently on sale.
I actually used Great Value Sourdough Bread and it was very fresh, soft, and flavorful. If you don’t want to use Great Value brand, or if it is not available at your local Walmart, you could look for Pepperidge Farms Sourdough Bread.
If you don’t like sourdough bread you could use any bread. An oatmeal or whole wheat bread would also work great.
I used Hormel deli sliced turkey and Romaine lettuce. Green leaf lettuce would also be good, and if you prefer, iceberg lettuce would work.
Roasted turkey breast would also work great in this sandwich. When we are having sandwiches I like them to be easy so buying presliced ready to eat meat works best for us.
We eat half a sandwich with this Light & Creamy Potato Soup, this Garden Pasta Salad, or this Light Potato Salad. We tend to eat the soup in the cooler months, and the salads in the warmer months so we don’t have to heat up the house too much.

This recipe is confusing. Are you calling 1/2 of a sandwich 1 sandwich? The ingredients used would make a good sandwich (roast turkey breast would be better). If 2 sandwiches are supposed to be 4 servings say so. You call for 20 pieces of deli turkey with 5 slices per sandwich…you must mean per half sandwich. I think I finally figured it out but many wouldn’t.

You are correct. The written instructions are for a half sandwich, I have edited the recipe. Roast turkey breast might be better but I wanted this to be a recipe that didn’t require cooking at all. And, I think one star is a little harsh.

Did you forget the avocado?
Mindy Boyd says
Avocado is in the list of ingredients and in the instructions. Also, you can see it on the sandwich in the picture.
