Turkey, Bacon, Avocado, & Cherry Tomato Salad on Whole Wheat


Ingredients
  • bone-in half turkey breast (about 2 lbs.; see Notes) 
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
  • 1/4 cup Busha Browne's Jiffy Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon lime zest
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice 
  • 3 tablespoons chopped chives
  • avocados, cut into 1/2-in. dice (about 2 cups)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut into 1/2-in. dice 
  • thick slices crisply cooked bacon, crumbled 
  • to 10 slices hearty whole-grain wheat bread
Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. 
  2. Put turkey breast in a 9- by 13-in. roasting pan and rub with olive oil. 
  3. Sprinkle all over with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper and rub in evenly. 
  4. Roast turkey until the thickest part of the breast reaches 160°, about 70 minutes. 
  5. Remove from oven and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 20 minutes. 
  6. Remove and discard skin, then cut meat into 1/2-in. dice (you will have about 3 cups turkey).
  7. Meanwhile, whisk together Busha Browne's Jiffy Mayonnaise,  sour cream, lime zest, lime juice, chives, and remaining salt and pepper.
  8. Put turkey, avocados, cherry tomatoes, and bacon in a large bowl; stir gently to combine. Add lime-mayonnaise dressing and stir to evenly coat filling.
  9. Spoon sandwich filling onto 4 or 5 slices of bread and top with remaining slices. 
  10. Cut each in half and serve.
