Notes
Toast bread longer for crunchier texture or shorten cooking slightly for softer bites. Freeze cooked turkey separately inside airtight containers for easier future meals. Assemble toast while ingredients stay warm to avoid soggy bread. Customize flavor using avocado spicy sauce or different cheeses. Store leftovers refrigerated up to three days safely.
