Description

This classic Turkey Club Sandwich combines toasted bread with layers of juicy turkey, crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, tomato, and creamy mayonnaise for a satisfying and flavorful meal. Perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner, this sandwich can be customized with your favorite cheese, avocado, pickles, mustard, and onion for added taste and texture.


Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Spread

  • 3 slices white bread (or your preferred type)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Vegetables and Add-ons

  • 2 slices of tomato
  • 2 leaves of romaine lettuce
  • Avocado (optional, sliced)
  • Pickles (optional)
  • Mustard (optional)
  • Onion (optional, thinly sliced)

Protein and Cheese

  • 4 ounces sliced turkey (deli or leftover roast turkey)
  • 2 strips of bacon, cooked and crisp
  • Cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or pepper jack, optional)


Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Lightly toast all three slices of bread until they turn golden brown and slightly crispy to provide a sturdy base for the sandwich.
  2. Spread Mayo: Evenly spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each toasted slice of bread to add moisture and flavor.
  3. Layer the Vegetables: On the first slice of bread with mayo side up, arrange the fresh romaine lettuce leaves and tomato slices to create a crisp and juicy foundation.
  4. Add the Second Slice: Place the second slice of bread on top of the tomatoes, ensuring the mayo side is facing down to keep the ingredients together.
  5. Add Protein and Extras: On top of the second bread slice, layer the sliced turkey, crispy bacon strips, and any additional lettuce if desired. Add optional cheese, avocado, pickles, mustard, and onion for extra flavor and texture.
  6. Finish the Sandwich: Cover with the final slice of toasted bread, mayo side down, completing the triple-decker structure.
  7. Slice and Serve: For a classic presentation, cut the sandwich into quarters to form small triangles. Secure each piece with a toothpick if needed to hold the layers firmly together and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use your favorite bread type, including whole wheat or multigrain, for a healthier option.
  • Customize the sandwich with different cheese varieties or add avocado for creaminess.
  • For a lighter sandwich, omit bacon or use turkey bacon.
  • To enhance flavor, lightly season the tomato slices with salt and pepper before layering.
  • This sandwich is best eaten fresh to maintain the crispness of the bread and vegetables.
