Ingredients
  

  • 1 2–3 lb bone-in, skin-on turkey breast (for roasting)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for turkey
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt for seasoning turkey
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper for seasoning turkey
  • 12 slices bacon for layering, baked crispy
  • 1 loaf 18 slices white sandwich bread (soft, for stacking)
  • 6 slices sharp cheddar cheese for melting layers
  • 3 avocados pitted and sliced (ripe)
  • 2 tomatoes sliced (for layering)
  • 1 head romaine lettuce washed, for crunch
For the garlic aioli:
  • 1 head garlic roasted
  • 1 cup mayonnaise or vegan mayo if desired
  • Juice of ½ lemon freshly squeezed
  • Pinch of salt to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and top with a wire rack. Lay the bacon strips across the rack without overlapping.
  2. Place the bacon in the cold oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, checking around 18 minutes. Remove and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  3. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Place the turkey breast skin-side up on a foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 60–70 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Prepare the garlic for aioli: slice the top off the garlic bulb, drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt, then wrap in foil. Add to the oven alongside the turkey when 40 minutes remain.
  5. Once cooked, remove turkey and garlic from the oven. Let turkey rest, then slice thinly with a carving knife. Store leftovers in the fridge 5–7 days.
  6. Squeeze roasted garlic cloves into a small bowl and mash with a fork. Stir in mayonnaise, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to make aioli.
  7. Toast three slices of bread per sandwich. Spread about 2 tablespoons garlic aioli across the slices. Layer one slice with romaine, 4–6 oz sliced turkey, and 2 slices cheddar. Top with the second slice, then 2 strips bacon, avocado slices, and tomato. Finish with the third slice of bread.
  8. Cut sandwiches in halves or quarters and secure each section with a toothpick. Serve immediately or store components in the fridge until ready to assemble.
