Preparation Instructions
  1. Preparation Instructions
  2. Start with the marmalade since that takes the longest. In a medium pan heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 7-8 minutes.
  3. Add the sugar and toss, cook until onions seem dry, about 15 minutes, tossing often, seriously you will be very sad if you burn them so pay attention (this note is more for me than you).
  4. Add the vinegar and cook until the onions are very soft and the vinegar is reduced down and thick. Remove from heat. This can be stored in the fridge for up to a couple weeks - it would probably be amazing on pizza.....
  5. Next fry up the bacon. Set aside on some paper towels to drain once it’s nice and crispy.
  6. Heat the oven to 350º and slice the rolls in half. Put them on a baking sheet and top with the cheese and turkey on the rolls and toast in the oven just until the cheese is melting.
  7. Smear some mayonnaise and avocado on the top half, place a generous portion of the onion reduction and bacon on the sandwich.
