Turkey Club Sandwich

The club sandwich is all about structure — three slices of toasted bread, layered so every bite includes turkey, bacon, lettuce, and tomato. A thin spread of mayo on each slice seals the bread against moisture and adds richness. Cut into triangles and secure with picks.

Ingredients

  • 6 slices white or sourdough bread, sliced
  • 8 ounces roasted turkey breast, thinly sliced
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 1 large ripe tomato, sliced into rounds
  • 4 romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves
  • 3 tablespoons good-quality mayonnaise
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Steps

  1. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
  2. Toast all 6 slices of bread until golden brown.
  3. Spread mayonnaise on one side of each toast slice.
  4. For each club, lay out the first slice of toast (mayo side up). Season the tomato slices with a pinch of salt and pepper, then layer half the turkey, 2 lettuce leaves, and half the tomato slices. Top with a second slice of toast (mayo side up).
  5. On the second slice, layer the bacon (3 slices, broken to fit), then the third slice of toast (mayo side down).
  6. Press down gently, insert 4 toothpicks near the corners, and cut diagonally both ways to make 4 triangular quarters. Serve immediately with chips or a pickle spear.
