Classic Turkey Club Sandwich

# What You'll Need:

01 - 7 oz cooked turkey breast, sliced

02 - 4 slices bacon

03 - 6 slices white or whole wheat sandwich bread

04 - 3 tbsp mayonnaise

05 - 4 leaves romaine or iceberg lettuce

06 - 1 large tomato, sliced

07 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

01 - Toast the bread slices until golden brown.

02 - In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

03 - Lay out three slices of toast. Spread each with 1/2 tbsp mayonnaise.

04 - On the first slice, layer half the lettuce, half the turkey, and season lightly with salt and pepper.

05 - Top with a second slice of toast, mayonnaise side down. Spread 1/2 tbsp mayonnaise on top.

06 - Layer on the tomato slices and bacon, then the remaining lettuce and turkey. Season again if desired.

07 - Top with the last slice of toast. Gently press down and secure each corner with a cocktail stick.

08 - Cut each sandwich diagonally into quarters and serve immediately.

01 -

It's a showstopper that actually comes together in 25 minutes, no fussing around for hours.
Every bite hits all the textures at once: crispy bacon, tender turkey, and that satisfying toast crunch that makes your jaw happy.
Somehow tastes fancier than it is, which means you can serve it to guests without apologizing.

02 -

If you skip toasting the bread, your sandwich becomes a sad, soggy situation within minutes—toast it properly.
The bacon must be completely cool before you layer it, or the mayo will separate and everything slides around like a mess.
Don't slice the tomato too thin or it'll just be watery; thick enough to hold its shape but not so thick you can't bite through it cleanly.

03 -

Toast your bread just before assembly so it's still warm and can accept the mayo without getting brittle.
Keep your lettuce and tomato cold, but let the turkey come to room temperature for better flavor—cold turkey tastes flatter and more rubbery.
