Note

Storage: The apricot curry mayonnaise can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Assemble sandwiches just before serving to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.

Variations: You can substitute the smoked turkey with grilled chicken or turkey breast. For a lighter option, use Greek yogurt mixed with the apricot jam and curry powder instead of mayonnaise.

Tips: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and crunch. If using baguette, consider lightly toasting the bread before assembling to add texture and prevent sogginess from the tomatoes and avocado.
