Smoked Turkey, Avocado & Brie Sandwiches

Submitted by Jangomango

"Make these when you have some beautiful fresh herbs. This is different and delicious because of the fresh herbs, garlic and pepperoni in the mayo mix. It makes a very special sandwich. If you like, you can also use this as a filling for lavosh wrapped sandwiches. Roll them up, chill them for an hour, and cut on the diagonal for a very nice lunch presentation."

Five stars doesn't begin to do it justice. This is one of the best combinations of flavors and textures I've had in a very long time, but it may be because I love all of the ingredients on this sandwich. First of all - I followed the recipe to the letter. I had a few qualms about the pepperoni - pepperoni? I thought it had to be a misprint. But - knowing LLBunny as I do, I was more than willing to trust and went ahead and added the pepperoni. Now I understand why it is there. It adds a wonderful touch of flavor I can't quite describe, but let's just say if it wasn't there the sandwich would be missing something. The herbed/jazzed up mayo is wonderful - I can see using this on any turkey sandwich. This sandwich was rich, refreshing, satisfying, FANTASTIC. I absolutely love it, and I absolutely will be making it WITHOUT CHANGES again in the future. I can't imagine anything that would make this sandwich better. Thank you, THANK YOU, LLB! Perfect combination!

I haven't made these, so wont rate until later, but wanted to address your brown avocado. if you mush it up with a little lemmon juice rather than slice, it should not brown. just a thought

Used these for a VERY special picnic on Sunday - made them with the tortilla wraps because I'm watching the carbs and really loved them! Had a minor problem because I live in Hicksville and could not buy, beg, borrow or steal and Brie. Ended up having to make them with somewhat plebian provolone, but they were still really WONDERFUL. Thanks for the great recipe!

These sandwiches were fantastic. I didn't have brie however because my small supermarket didn't sell it...sad. Had to use swiss but it was still wonderful. The mayo spread was the best. Fiancee loved them, and I can't wait to try them again with the brie.
