At a Glance: Here is a quick snapshot of what ingredients are in this recipe.
Please see the recipe card below for specific quantities.
Ingredient notes
- Turkey: Or substitute leftover roasted turkey.
- Bacon: To cook bacon in the oven, arrange it in a single layer on a rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in a 400-degree oven. Or substitute crispy prosciutto.
Step-by-step instructions
- Working with one sandwich at a time, or assembling all four simultaneously, arrange 4 ounces turkey meat on the bottom half of a croissant. Top each with 2 slices of bacon, a lettuce leaf, and tomato slices.
- Add avocado and season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the top half of each croissant and place on top of the sandwich.
3. Serve with potato chips or potato salad and pickles.
Recipe tips and variations
- Yield: This recipe makes 4 sandwiches.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- BLT croissant sandwich: For a classic BLT on a croissant, omit the turkey.
- Club croissant sandwich: Substitute deli ham for the bacon, add a slice of cheese (Swiss cheese or cheddar are good), and omit the avocado. For a regular old club sandwich, serve it on toast instead of a croissant.
- Croissant breakfast sandwiches: Omit the lettuce and turkey and add scrambled eggs and cheese. You can add ham, bacon, or a sausage patty with the egg. For extra credit, brush the cut surfaces of the croissant with butter and grill on a skillet.
- Caprese sandwich: Layer mozzarella, tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves on a croissant or sliced ciabatta.
- More toppings: Try sliced cucumbers, a handful or sprouts, pickled red onions, peppery arugula, or dill pickle slices.
- Mayonnaise mix-ins: Flavor your mayo with a spoonful of pesto, Dijon mustard, or a few cloves of mashed roasted garlic. To make honey mustard sauce, whisk together ¼ cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice.

Hmmm, I can tell this one is super YUMMY only by reading the post title! But man, those croissant sandwich looks so good! I totally agree with you, the homemade sandwich tastes much better because you could select best and fresh ingredients. I actually would like grill the croissant with the cheese and bacon before adding any veggies. I will have trouble with stopping eating them 🙂

Wait, what chain is this? I need you to name names! At any rate, screw them, because this sounds amazing and I’m all about the DIY and sticking it to the man. 🙂
Hi, Meggan! I love the new layout, too! I’m sure you need to put your feet up and reward yourself with one of these beautiful croissants now!
I often get inspired by a cafe’s offerings and, yes, I’m afraid to say, frustrated by their service, too.
P.S. I really love your photos in this post – so crisp and clean!
My daughter was just asking what is the big deal with croissants. I realized she has never had one. Poor kid has been missing out. This sandwich looks so delicious!
Love your new design. I need a change and really like this theme too 😀
This looks so yummy. You can even have my bacon! 😉 Loving the new layout!!

Thank you so much! The new look was born out of desperation and tears, but it’s a good change. I’m very happy. Thank you for helping me work out the kinks… and for sharing your bacon!
