Ingredients

  • 6 slices sturdy white or whole wheat bread
  • 6 slices deli-style oven-roasted turkey breast
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked until crispy
  • 1 ripe Haas avocado, sliced
  • 4 slices ripe plum tomato
  • 2 leaves romaine lettuce
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Toast all 6 slices of bread to a light golden brown.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together until smooth.
  3. Lay out 3 toasted bread slices and spread a thin layer of the mustard-mayo mixture on one side of each.
  4. On the first slice of bread, layer a leaf of romaine lettuce, 2 slices of tomato, and 2 slices of crispy bacon.
  5. Place the second slice of toasted bread on top, and spread its top side with more mustard-mayo.
  6. On this second layer, arrange the turkey slices and the sliced avocado, seasoning them with salt and pepper.
  7. Top with the third slice of bread, mayo-side facing down.
  8. Secure the sandwich with toothpicks on all four sides, cut it diagonally into quarters, and serve.

Tips

  • Use toothpicks to hold the layers together before slicing, which ensures clean, neat quarters.
  • Slice the avocado just before assembling to prevent it from browning.
  • Season the tomato and avocado slices directly with a pinch of salt and pepper to elevate the overall flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this a lower-carb option?

Yes, you can skip the bread entirely and wrap these exact ingredients in large butter lettuce leaves.

What is the classic way to slice a club sandwich?

Secure the sandwich with four toothpicks (one in each quadrant) and cut diagonally twice to form four small triangles.

How do I store leftovers?

This sandwich is best eaten immediately, as the avocado will brown and the toast will soften if stored.
