Smoked Turkey and Avocado Melt
"Found this recipe in "365 Great 20-Minute Recipes" and make it when I have left over roasted turkey. Instead of using smoked turkey I usually just use regular turkey and make recipe #100355 by Graybert which is delicious. I have used English muffins instead of cracked wheat bread."

Originally rated on 3/25/09 - This recipe made it into my book#266453. WOW! This is a fantastic little recipe. The combination of smoked turkey (I used deli-shaved), tomatoes, avocado and cheese is just marvelous. The thousand island dressing puts this recipe over-the-top, in my book. YUM. I forgot to buy thousand island dressing when I shopped and was so happy that there was a homemade version linked with this recipe. It was a snap to whip up and tastes just like thousand island dressing. I followed the sandwich directions exactly and wouldn't change a single thing. In fact, I ate TWO of these for my lunch because I couldn't stop at just one. Try this recipe, it is wonderful!! ~Made for PAC Spring 2009~ -
What a great lunch!!! Since I am not a fan of thousand island dressing, I took the suggestion from Starrynews and used mayo with cumin and chili powder. It was perfect! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, mama smurf. **Made for Fall PAC 2009** -
Delicious treat! I don't care for thousand island dressing, but the rest of the combo looked amazing, so I substituted some mayo sprinkled with cumin and chili powder for the dressing. I followed the rest of the directions exactly, and it was lovely. Thanks for sharing!

<p><img src=http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z205/jubespage/ZaarBanners/cookathon-participant.jpg alt=width=300 height=150 />I live in Boise, Idaho (home of the famous Idaho potatoes and Boise State University whose football team plays on the blue smurf turf). My husband and I are retired and travel quite a lot. We have a place in Boise, Idaho and now a part-time home in Carlsbad, California. It's nice to be in California where they have so much more fresh food...vegetables and fish! They have so many farmer markets that I really have to watch myself, but cooking is so much fun and they have such a variety of things to use.</p>
<p>I have two daughters and one has three kids...my angels (the twins who are now 4) and my man who is 2 and just as big as the twins. I do miss them when we are gone...they grow so fast.<br /><br />I love to collect and read cookbooks -- way to much from my husbands point of view. I love to watch Rachael Ray, Paula Deen, Barefoot Contessa and Everyday Italian. I have used this site for several months and have loved the recipes and info that comes with them...had to join! <a href=http://photobucket.com target=_blank><img src=http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/4th%20of%20July/4811_126789.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><br /><br />The only peeve that I really have is going on this site and reading reviews on recipes where the person has totally changed the recipe and didn't like the results so therefore giving low ratings. <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg alt=/ /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt=/ /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg alt=/ /><img src=http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u208/diner_photos/lazymecookathon.jpg alt=/ />
