Turkey Bacon Avocado Croissants

Can there be anything more refreshing than a gorgeous and plump sandwich stuffed with all the goodness of crisp bacon, creamy avocado and peppered turkey breast? 

Pile all of that in between a fluffy croissant and you’re in sandwich heaven! 

I have a small confession to make. I am known, on occasion, to stand in front of my fridge with the doors wide open, digging through to find something to snack on. Well, on one such occasion, I happened to find turkey breast lunchmeat, some cooked bacon and a California Avocado sitting in my fridge. 

I took the bacon and warmed it up in the microwave to rejuvenate it. It got reaaaaal crispy. I stuck in on top of my sliced turkey breast and then cut up some avocado and placed in on top. I rolled it up and… oh mama! It was the most delicious thing ever! 

That’s oddly enough how I got the inspiration for this gorgeous sandwich.

It’s vital that the bacon is crispy. It’s a texture thing. With the creamy avocado and soft croissant covering the tender side of the sandwich, you get a fabulous crunch from the crisp bacon, cucumber and onion. 

It’s a party in your mouth.

Spread 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard on the croissant, top with a large leafy green lettuce leaf followed by two slices of turkey breast, ¼ of the sliced California Avocado, ¼ of the purple onion and ¼ of the sliced cucumber. Top with the top half of the croissant.
