Classic Turkey Club Sandwich
June 21, 2024It is one of the iconic sandwiches found on almost every restaurant menu in California. It is one of my all-time favorite sandwiches.
Equipment
- cast iron skillet
Ingredients
- 4-5 slices of thin-sliced bacon cooked crispy.
- 3 slices hearty white bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2-4 tablespoons of good-quality mayonnaise
- 3 ounces of sliced turkey Leftover Thanksgiving turkey is the best for this! A good-quality deli-sliced roast turkey is a second option.
- 2 leaves butter lettuce washed and thoroughly dried. Torn close to the size of the bread.
- 2-3 slices of ripe tomato thick sliced
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Start by cooking the bacon until crispy. Once the bacon is crisp-cooked, place it on paper towels so the paper towels absorb the excess bacon grease. You can break the strips in half when the bacon has cooled off if necessary.
- Preheat the skillet over medium heat. Spread some butter onto a slice of bread, add to a hot cast iron pan, and toast until the bread is golden brown. The bread should be warm and golden when done. Repeat for all three slices.
- Next, spread a generous amount of mayonnaise on a slice of toasted bread.
- Layer butter lettuce leaves first, next tomato slices.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper onto the tomato slices.
- Spread mayonnaise on the second slice of bread and place it mayonnaise side towards the tomato slices.
- Add mayonnaise to another side of toasted bread.
- Layer in layers of turkey and, finally, the cooked bacon slices. The bacon should fit within the size of the slice of bread.
- Add more mayonnaise to the last piece of toasted bread to finish the sandwich.
- Add sandwich picks to four corners of the sandwich (about 1 inch in) and cut into quarters.
- Serve warm
