Ingredients You’ll Need for Club Sandwich (Turkey, Ham, Turkey Bacon)
- 3 slices wheat bread (or bread of choice)
- 2 Tablespoons mayo (I recommend Duke’s, Hellmann’s, or Trader Joe’s)
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Salt and pepper to taste (on the tomatoes)
- 2 ounces sliced deli ham

How to Make Club Sandwich (Turkey, Ham, Turkey Bacon)
Toast your bread until it turns a beautiful, golden brown, and allow it to cool for a few minutes. This helps to avoid wilted lettuce.
Spread each of the 3 pieces of cooled toast generously with mayo.
On one slice, layer the crisp lettuce and a few slices of flavorful tomato. Don’t forget to sprinkle a little salt and pepper on those luscious tomatoes for extra flavor!
Place a second piece of bread, mayo side down, directly onto the first slice. Spread a little more mayo on the top of this slice.
Now it’s time to stack your meats and cheese! Start with the sliced turkey, followed by the decadent ham, crisp turkey bacon, and the melty cheese.
Top it all off with the last slice of bread, mayo side down. Try to keep everything layered nice and neat.
Using a well-sharpened knife, gently cut the sandwich into triangles. Secure each triangle with toothpicks to keep all those delicious layers together.
To elevate the visual game of your club sandwich, turn everything on its side to showcase those pretty layers.
Serve immediately and fully enjoy this warm and comforting creation!
Fun Ways to Customize It
- Add Avocado: For a creamy twist, slice up some ripe avocado to add to your layers. It’s rich and buttery, making each bite even more indulgent.
- Spicy Kick: Spread some spicy mustard or add sliced jalapeños for a zesty kick that will awaken your taste buds!
- Additional Veggies: Toss in some cucumber slices or roasted red peppers for an extra layer of crunch and flavor.
- Cheese Options: Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack, feta, or a rich goat cheese for unique flavors and textures.
Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
- Make It Ahead: If you’re planning a busy day, you can prep your ingredients ahead of time! Slice the veggies and store them separately in the fridge to keep them fresh.

- Storage Suggestions: If you have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy them within a day for the best taste!
- Perfect Slicing: For a clean cut, use a serrated knife to slice through the layers without squishing your beautiful sandwich.
