Honey Avocado Sauce
My friend introduced me to the ULTIMATE sandwich spread- Honey Avocado- and I cannot stop making it!
This sauce is the real deal. I mix mayo, avocado, honey and lemon juice with a little garlic in a blender to cream everything together. It’s simple, lasts for days and tastes better than any sandwich shop. Swap in any fillings or breads you like, but don’t skip that special-sauce!

Turkey Bacon Avocado Sandwich Ingredients
- Favorite bread: Go for a good sturdy 7 grain or focaccia– trust me.
- Havarti cheese: Mild and creamy; a great complement, but not necessary.
- Bacon: Make it on a sheet pan, starting in a cold oven or pan for ultimate fat-rendering-crispness.
- Deli turkey: Choose fresh deli slices or use leftover Thanksgiving turkey if you’ve got some!
- Avocado: Use a perfectly ripe avocado for a creamier texture; slice thinly.
- Tomato: Always sprinkle a little salt and pepper on tomatoes in a sandwich!
- Greens: I love to used mixed greens or peppery arugula, but anything will do! Romaine or green leaf lettuce would be great!
- Honey Avocado sauce: Blend together the ingredients in a small bowl for the ultimate sandwich spread!
How to Make Turkey Avocado Sandwiches with Honey Avocado Dressing
- Make sauce: Blend together the sauce ingredients and store in the fridge until ready to use.
- Assemble: Spread sauce on BOTH slices of bread. On one slice, layer greens, cheese (if using), turkey, crisp bacon, avocado and tomato (don’t forget the S&P!).
Variations
The beauty of a sandwich is that you can totally customize it to your liking. Omit certain toppings or add other toppings to make it just how you want it. I’d highly recommend NOT omitting the avocado sauce on this sandwich, but if you wanted to added some other toppings, here are some ideas:
- Cheese: Swap the Havarti for Gouda, Provolone or Swiss cheese
- Red Onions
- Black Olives
- Mustard or Honey Mustard
What To Serve Alongside The Avocado Turkey Sandwich
- Broccoli Salad
- Cheesecake Fruit Salad
- Bag of your favorite chips
- Deviled Egg Pasta Salad
Recipe Tip
If you want an extra boost in texture and flavor, toast the multigrain bread and spread a little butter on it before assembling the sandwich. Yowza it’s good!
