Panini sandwiches give you a crispy, toasted bread along with warm flavorful fillings. This turkey, bacon, and guacamole panini includes sliced turkey, creamy guacamole, melty cheese, crisp bacon, and juicy tomato slices.

If you don’t have a panini press, you can still make this sandwich, just like you would a grilled cheese sandwich. The key to this sandwich is to use good quality ingredients.

I get my turkey, bacon, and guacamole from Costco. I like to buy the guacamole in the individual packages. Then, I keep them in the freezer then pull some out as needed. Just place the packages in the fridge to thaw the night before I need them.

How to Make a Turkey, Bacon, and Gucamole Panini

Start by preheating your panini press on medium heat.

Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly onto each slice of bread. Then, repeat the process with guacamole, spreading 2 tablespoons onto each slice.

Layer turkey, slices of cheese, bacon, and tomato slices onto one slice of bread. Top with the second slice of bread and spread softened butter over the top. Carefully transfer the assembled sandwich, buttered side down, onto the preheated panini press or skillet.

Spread the remaining tablespoon of butter over the top slice of bread. Press down the panini press and cook the sandwich for 3-4 minutes. Make sure the bread is golden and crispy on the outside. Also, make sure to melt the cheese on the inside.

Once the sandwich is golden and toasted to your liking, remove it from the press or skillet and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious homemade panini!
