Turkey, Bacon and Guacamole Panini

This Turkey, Bacon and Guacamole Panini is loaded with sliced turkey, creamy guacamole, Havarti cheese, bacon and tomatoes. It makes a delicious sandwich that is easy to make and even better to eat!

I am a huge panini fan. Besides the golden bread and hearty ingredients, I like paninis because they’re the least messiest sandwich to eat when you’re at a restaurant.

You see, I get mad at my food when it falls apart. And I’m not even kidding. I love wraps, but I usually think twice before ordering them at a restaurant, because I don’t want it to fall apart. And if that happens, I get grouchy and silently curse my wrap that I now need to eat with a fork.

And club sandwiches? Forget those! I never order those out. Ever. The last time I did was about 15 years ago and I got upset because it fell apart. I just remember my mom shaking her head at me. It’s ok, you can call me a weirdo.

And whenever I think of a panini, my mind automatically goes to Panera. But the funny thing is, I usually order my staple dish for there: The you-pick-two french onion soup and a salad. Although, sometimes I cave and get one of their delicious paninis.

Bonus: this panini will NOT fall apart when you eat it. I’ve made this several times and this is fail-proof. And that means I’m one happy girl.

I’m a little afraid to admit this, but making this Turkey, Bacon and Guacamole Panini was the first time that I used my panini press, which I got over two years ago for my wedding shower. Can you believe it?

But luckily, I’m now hooked on making my own sandwiches, so I’ve been experimenting with it more and more. Which means more sandwiches are coming your way soon…get excited!

But back to this panini. It’s loaded with fresh ingredients and makes a delicious combination for those turkey, bacon and guac lovers out there. I also added mayonnaise to this sandwich, because that’s just a staple bread ingredient.

The fun part is that you can experiment with this Turkey, Bacon and Guacamole Panini to fit your tastes. Pile on the bacon, leave out the guac, or add in some mustard. The possibilities are endless!

But whatever you do, be sure to make this panini soon. Like right now. It’s too good to pass up and makes the perfect lunch or dinner (no mess included)!
