From Karen's Kitchen-My take on the "Napa Valley Turkey sandwich"

Napa Valley Turkey Sandwich

This past weekend, my family and I went on a mini vacation to Boston.  We ate many delicious meals but the one that stood out in my mind was a sandwich we had at this little soup and sandwich cafe.  On the menu the words Napa Valley Turkey Sandwich stood out along with a gorgeous photo of this delicious looking sandwich.  It was indeed delicious.
This afternoon, I thought about what we were going to have for dinner tonight.  I decided to try to recreate that sandwich.
I exchanged a couple of the ingredients for more healthier options.

Ingredients

Ciabatta bread
1/2 cup of low fat sour cream (instead of mayo)
1/2 a lemon
green onion
Roasted turkey
low sodium bacon (instead of regular)
1 Avacado
Ripe tomato

To make my version of lemon sauce, I used a 1/2 cup of Low fat sour cream, the juice of a half a lemon, and 2 Tablespoons of green onion.


                                 I found a loaf of fresh Ciabatta bread at my local grocery store.
                                          The aroma of freshly baked bread is my weakness.
 
I spread the bread with lemon sauce

 

                                             Next I place 4 slices of turkey on the sauce
                                                           I divided up a slice of bacon
                                       I chopped up some avocado and placed it on the bacon
                                                               Next comes the tomato
                                                              The finished sandwich. 

 This was a nice surprise for the guys.  They devoured the sandwiches and commented how much they tasted like the ones they had in Boston.  Score!!


Recipe based on a sandwich we had in Boston at Souper Sandwiches.
