How to Make Wichcraft's Roasted Turkey Avocado Bacon Onion Relish

  1. **Onion Relish:**
  2. Combine 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced, with enough water to cover in a heavy medium pot. Bring to a boil, then drain.
  3. Return onions to the pot. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar.
  4. Simmer over moderate heat, then reduce to low. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until onions are completely tender (about 1.5 hours).
  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature.
  6. **Aioli:**
  7. In a food processor, blend 1 large egg yolk, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar until smooth and creamy (1-2 minutes).
  8. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in 1 cup extra virgin olive oil until emulsified (about 2 minutes).
  9. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon chopped pepperoncini. Cover and refrigerate.
  10. **Assemble Sandwiches:**
  11. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  12. Cook 12 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  13. Slice 4 ciabatta rolls in half and place on a large baking sheet.
  14. Spread 4 ounces of roasted turkey on each ciabatta bottom. Top with 1/4 cup of onion relish per sandwich.
  15. Place 3 slices of bacon on each ciabatta top.
  16. Bake for 5 minutes, or until bacon is crispy and ciabatta is lightly golden.
  17. Remove from oven and transfer bacon to the other side of the ciabatta, layering on top of the onion relish.
  18. Divide 1 ripe avocado, sliced, evenly among the sandwiches.
  19. Spread aioli evenly on each ciabatta top. Close sandwiches, slice in half, and serve immediately.
