This Sandwich Is The Best Part of Thanksgiving

Let’s be honest — the best part of Thanksgiving is the leftover turkey sandwich the next day. Battles have been known to break out in my house over this glorious tradition. We asked Chef Jeff from 103 West to give up his go-to recipe, and he happily agreed to share it. Try not to drool too much until you actually make it!
THE PERFECT DAY-AFTER ROASTED TURKEY SANDWICH
Sliced leftover turkey
12 slices bacon
4 ciabatta rolls
1/2 cup balsamic onion marmalade (recipe below)
1 ripe avocado pitted and sliced
4T mayonnaise
In heavy skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until brown and crisp. Transfer to paper towel to drain. Slice the ciabatta rolls in half. Place turkey slices on bottom halves and top the turkey with marmalade. Place the rolls on a small sheet pan in 350 degree oven and remove once marmalade is heated through and the bread is toasted, about 6-8 minutes. Top the marmalade with bacon, followed by avocado. Evenly spread mayonnaise on top halves of rolls. Close the sandwiches, cut into halves and serve.
