Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice 2 medium roma tomatoes in half, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and roast on a baking sheet for 20 minutes until softened and caramelized.
  2. Step 2: In a small blender, combine the roasted tomatoes, 3 tbsp mayonnaise, and 1 minced garlic clove. Blend until smooth to create the roasted tomato aioli; season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Toast 2 slices of artisan sandwich bread until golden brown.
  4. Step 4: Spread a generous 2 tbsp of the roasted tomato aioli on one slice of toasted bread. Layer 6 oz sliced turkey breast, 1/2 sliced ripe avocado, and 2 large lettuce leaves on top.
  5. Step 5: Spread the remaining 1 tbsp aioli on the other slice of bread and close the sandwich. Slice in half and serve immediately.
