1. Run cracker bread under hot water uintil moistened but not soggy. Set aside wrapped in clean damp towel.

2. In small bowl standing in hot water, soften and whip Neufchatel cheese to spreading consistency.

3. Crumble bacon and stir into cheese with celery and onion.

4. Using rubber spatula, spread cheese thinly over softened cracker bread. (You may think there isn't enough mixture to cover but just be patient and persevere. You'll get there.)

5. Cover with turkey slices.

6. Dip avocado in lemon juice, then place on top of turkey.

7. Arrange Romaine leaves in a single layer over all. Sprinkle with pepper.

8. Roll bread up tightly to enclose filling. Wrap in plastic and chill until ready to serve. (CAn be made up to 12 hours ahead.)

9. Just before serving, remove plastic wrap and slice in diagonal slices.

NOTE: Large rounds of La Vosh-style cracker bread, if not readily available in your local market, can usually be found in specialty markets. Neufchatel cheese, in case you are wondering, looks and tastes just like cream cheese, but counts as a meat card instead of a fat card.
