4. Once the turkey is heated, remove it from the pan and set aside.
5. Crack the eggs into the same pan and cook until the desired level of doneness.
6. Assemble the sandwiches by layering the turkey, avocado, tomato, and cheese on top of one slice of toasted bread.
7. Add the cooked egg on top of the cheese and season with salt and pepper.
8. Top with the remaining slice of toasted bread.
