Ingredients

For the sandwiches

4 ciabatta rolls
12 oz sliced deli turkey
4 slices swiss cheese (optional)
½ of an avocado, thinly sliced or mashed
¼ of a red onion, thinly sliced
4 pieces of romaine lettuce

For the BBQ dipping sauce

¼ cup honey
⅓ cup ketchup
½ cup chicken bone broth or chicken broth
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon Kosher salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Measure out all of the ingredients for the homemade barbecue dipping sauce into a small to medium saucepan. Mix together well and warm over low to medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Turn the oven onto the broil setting. Line your sheet pan with parchment paper. Cut the ciabatta rolls in half so it has a top and a bottom. Place them cut side up on the sheet pan and put them in the oven to broil for 1-2 minutes (cook time may vary based on the oven—keep a close eye on the bread as it can burn quickly). Remove from the oven.
Next, place turkey slices on one half of the bread and a slice of cheese on the other half. Put the pan back into the oven to broil for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Prepare the toppings—thinly slice the onion, wash the lettuce, and thinly slice the avocado or mash it into a small bowl. Place the toppings onto the turkey and place the top half of the ciabatta bread on top. Cut the sandwich in half if desired.
Pour some of the BBQ dipping sauce into a small bowl and dip your sandwich. Enjoy!
