In a large saucepan filled with 1/2 gallon of water, bring water to a simmer. Add all Brine ingredients and stir. Allow to come to a boil, then cool broth. Add turkey and place in refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.

Rub this mixture all over the turkey breast and under the skin. Place in the oven and roast for about 1 1/2 hours or until the turkey reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Make sure to let the turkey rest before slicing.
Slice the turkey and assemble the sandwiches by topping 1 piece of bread with the Cilantro Mayonnaise Sauce, turkey, bacon, another piece of bread, Cilantro Mayonnaise Sauce, turkey, tomato, lettuce, avocado, and a final piece of bread spread with the Cilantro Mayonnaise Sauce. Repeat with remaining bread and ingredients.
