Ingredients

Scale

3 slices of sandwich bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
4 oz roasted turkey breast (sliced)
2 slices bacon (cooked until crispy)
2 slices tomato (fresh and ripe)
2 leaves lettuce (romaine or iceberg)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
1 tablespoon butter (for toasting, optional)

Ingredient Highlights

Turkey Breast: Lean and packed with protein, turkey is the star of this sandwich. Opt for freshly sliced deli turkey or leftover roasted turkey for the best flavor.
Bacon: Adds a smoky, crispy contrast to the tender turkey. Thick-cut bacon provides extra crunch.
Tomatoes: Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes for a fresh, slightly sweet taste. Heirloom or vine-ripened tomatoes work best.
Lettuce: Crisp lettuce adds a refreshing crunch. Iceberg or romaine lettuce are the most common choices.
Bread: Traditional club sandwiches use three slices of toasted sandwich bread, but you can experiment with different types like sourdough or multigrain.
Mayonnaise & Mustard: Mayo adds creaminess, while Dijon mustard gives a slight tangy kick.

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients:

Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Toast the Bread: Lightly butter the bread slices (if using) and toast them until golden brown. You can use a toaster or toast them in a skillet for extra crispiness.
Prepare the Mayo Spread: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with Dijon mustard (if using) for added flavor.

Assemble the Sandwich:

Layer the First Slice of Bread: Spread a thin layer of mayo on the first slice of toasted bread. Add a layer of lettuce, followed by 2 slices of turkey.
Add the Second Slice of Bread: Place the second slice of toasted bread on top. Spread another thin layer of mayo, then layer with bacon, tomato slices, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Top with the Final Slice of Bread: Spread mayo on one side of the last slice of bread and place it on top to complete the sandwich.
Secure and Slice: To make the sandwich easier to eat, insert toothpicks into each corner and slice diagonally into quarters.
