Naked California Turkey Club

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup panko crumbs, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
-
Divide the bread crumbs evenly between two dishes. Add the salt and pepper and mix to combine.
-
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
-
Place each breast in the bread crumbs, pressing down to help the crumbs stick. Once the pan is hot and the oil begins to shimmer, add the turkey/chicken and immediately turn the heat down to low. Allow the turkey/chicken to cook for about 4-6 minutes. You'll notice that the bread crumbs have turned golden. Remove the turkey/chicken to a baking dish.
-
Spread a thin layer of the mayonnaise or yogurt on each breast and sprinkle with a little bit of the separated bread crumbs. Place in the oven to bake for about 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and add the bacon and then cheese. Place the chicken back in the oven until the cheese is melted and the turkey/chicken is cooked through, another 8-10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, combine the avocados, tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, and season to taste.
-
Place lettuce on a platter. Once the meat is cooked, allow it to cool for a few minutes, and place it on the lettuce. Top with the salsa. Enjoy!
