Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This is a delicious recipe to use up any leftover turkey from the holidays! You can also make this using deli-sliced turkey. I have use provolone cheese in place of the mozza cheese. You can prepare these melts hours in advance, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake."

Did this for DH... he loves turkey, bacon and avocados, but I 'm don't think I've ever served them to him together, until now! He loved it! I used home made white bread (Per Request of DH) and very few onions (Another request) and it was a great blend.
