When does a BLT become just a sandwich?

Last night, I ate something listed as a “Turkey Avocado BLT”
It was delicious, but it got me thinking, can you slap BLT on any sandwich with Bacon lettuce and tomato regardless of what else is going on?
Is this not just a Turkey sandwich at this point? Every club I’ve ever had has BLT, but it isn’t a Turkey and ham BLT.
What say the board?

I’d say anything beyond adding an egg or avacado makes it go from BLT to sandwich.
Adding turkey makes it a turkey sandwich with bacon, lettuce, and tomato.

I get what you're saying, but I also think that is about as short and accurate of a name for that sandwich as you'd get. What would the alternative be, Turkey Avocado Bacon sandwich? Turkey Avocado BLT lets me know exactly what that sandwich is, so i'm fine with it being called that.
A Club is a specific sandwich though with its own name and identity.

I know A BAT sandwich might not sell, but How many sandwiches advertise tomato and lettuce without bacon?
Once they aren’t the main ingredient I feel Like they’re back to topping/dressing status

As soon as you add anything beyond the traditional ingredients of a BLT

I don't disagree. I do think that a BLT does have a different level of bacon that is assumed is with the sandwich, more than it would be if it was just a topping.
Now, if this sandwich just had like two strips of bacon on it, then yea calling that a BLT is absurd. If it didn't have the turkey and avocado and would still be considered a legit BLT, then I can see the rational behind how they labeled it.

Some places migh have a name for that but everyone knows what you mean when you say turkey avocado BLT so why not just keep it simple like that.

I have this same rant/argument about grilled cheese
What’s the difference between a “grilled cheese with bacon” and a “bacon and cheese melt/panini”
this was brought up by a friend wanting to go to a food truck that made “gourmet grilled cheese” but to me it was just a hot sandwich shop

IMO the second you introduce another protein it is no longer a BLT.

I thought any 2 meats and you have a club sandwich? Maybe I made that up...maybe you need that middle bread to be a club.

I had a ground meat, onion, pickle, BLT just the other day
