Smokey Spiced Homemade Mayonnaise in Avocado Turkey Club Wraps |
Bacon, avocado & a smoky spiced mayonnaise make these easy turkey wraps some of the most delicious you will ever eat; a wonderful mix of flavors & textures.
Sometimes all it takes is a little something special to elevate something as simple as a relatively standard lunch sandwich wrap. Great quality ingredients like home roasted turkey, ripe, creamy avocado and applewood smoked bacon are all that is necessary for a delicious sandwich but when we served these at a recent lunch, the simple addition of some delicious, homemade smokey spiced mayo really took the flavor over the top. We may have only served simple wraps for lunch but trust me, nobody was disappointed.

Suggestion for the mayo: Add half the lemon juice first to create the initial emulsion, then add the oil very slowly (drops only, at first) until thickness you want is achieved, then add remaining lemon juice. Also, rather than a food processor, whisk it for more control, food processors tend to break the mayo unexpectedly because you cannot judge the thickness, as well. (there's also much less cleanup)
