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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Now layer the crispy bacon on top of the second slice of bread, followed by another layer of lettuce.
- Cover with the third slice of toasted bread, mayo side down. Press down gently on the sandwich to secure the layers.
- Carefully cut the sandwich diagonally into quarters, securing each section with a toothpick if necessary.
- Serve your Turkey Club immediately, or wrap it up for a tasty picnic or on-the-go lunch!
