Classic Turkey Club Sandwich Recipe

Classic Turkey Club Sandwich Recipe

There’s nothing quite like a classic Turkey Club Sandwich, whether you’re in need of a satisfying lunch or a quick dinner. Packed with slices of succulent turkey, crisp bacon, fresh lettuce, tomato, and a touch of mayo, stacked between toasted bread, this sandwich is a beloved classic for a good reason.

Ingredients:

• 6 slices of white or whole wheat sandwich bread
• 6 slices of cooked turkey breast
• 6 slices of cooked bacon
• 2 tomatoes, sliced
• Lettuce leaves (preferably iceberg or romaine)
• Mayonnaise, to taste
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Butter or oil, for toasting the bread

Instructions:

1. Begin by toasting the bread slices to your preferred level of crispiness. You can toast them in a toaster, on a skillet, or under a broiler. Once toasted, set aside.
2. While the bread is toasting, cook the bacon until it is crispy. This can be done in a skillet, in the oven, or in the microwave. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels to remove excess grease.
3. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread. This not only adds flavor but also helps to create a barrier to prevent the bread from getting soggy from the tomato and lettuce.
4. Begin assembling the sandwich by placing a piece of lettuce on top of the first slice of bread. Follow this with two slices of turkey, and then a layer of tomato slices. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Add the second slice of bread on top of the tomato layer, mayo-side facing down. Spread a bit more mayo on the top side of the second bread slice.
6. Now layer the crispy bacon on top of the second slice of bread, followed by another layer of lettuce.
7. Cover with the third slice of toasted bread, mayo side down. Press down gently on the sandwich to secure the layers.
8. Carefully cut the sandwich diagonally into quarters, securing each section with a toothpick if necessary.
9. Serve your Turkey Club immediately, or wrap it up for a tasty picnic or on-the-go lunch!

Enjoy your classic Turkey Club Sandwich with a side of chips, a pickle, or a fresh salad for a complete meal. It’s a simple yet delightful recipe that never fails to satisfy!
