Instructions

Prepare the spread

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well blended. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare the avocado

In a separate bowl, toss the sliced avocado with lemon juice to prevent browning and add a touch of brightness. Season lightly with salt.
Assemble the base

Spread the mayo-mustard mixture evenly on all slices of toasted bread. Layer the bottom slices with romaine lettuce and tomato slices.
Add the turkey and toppings

Divide the turkey slices evenly between the two sandwiches, placing on top of the tomatoes. Add red onion slices and bacon if using.
Finish the sandwich

Arrange the avocado slices on top of the turkey layer. Season with a little freshly ground black pepper. Cap with the remaining bread slices, spread side down.
Slice and serve

Cut each sandwich diagonally with a sharp knife and serve immediately, with a side of chips or a light salad if desired.
