Introduction

The classic club sandwich is a hearty, layered delight perfect for any meal. With turkey, ham, bacon, fresh tomato, and crisp lettuce stacked between toasted bread, it’s a satisfying choice that’s easy to make at home.

The image shows a white bowl filled with four club sandwich quarters, each sandwich with three layers of toasted bread that is light brown in color and slightly crisp at the edges. The bottom layer has fresh green lettuce, slices of red tomato, and thin slices of light pink turkey. The middle layer has crispy bacon strips with a reddish-brown color, and the top layer has more lettuce and tomato visible. Each sandwich is held together with a wooden toothpick. To the right of the sandwiches are a pile of golden, ridged potato chips. At the bottom right corner inside the bowl are three small green pickles. The bowl sits on a white marbled surface with a blue-striped cloth nearby. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1/3 cup mayo (or spicy mayo)
4 oz turkey breast
4 oz ham
2 slices white American cheese
6 slices cooked bacon
1 tomato, sliced
3/4 cup shredded lettuce

Step 6: Secure the sandwich with toothpicks and cut into 4 slices.

Tips & Variations

Use spicy mayo instead of regular mayo for a flavorful kick.
Swap out white American cheese for Swiss or cheddar for a different taste.
For a gluten-free option, substitute the bread with gluten-free slices.
Grill the sandwich briefly after assembling for a warm, melty version.

Storage

Club sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh but can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. To keep the bread from becoming soggy, consider storing ingredients separately and assembling just before eating. If reheating, unwrap the sandwich and toast briefly in a skillet or oven to restore crispness, avoiding the microwave to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

A round wooden board holds an array of sandwich ingredients arranged in separate sections. At the top left are six thin slices of light brown turkey, next to them are four slices of pink ham. Below the ham and turkey, five crispy strips of browned bacon lie on top of two bright yellow cheese slices. In the center, a pile of finely shredded pale green lettuce sits beside five thick slices of red tomato. To the right, eight pieces of toasted white bread with a golden-brown crust are stacked. There are two small white scalloped bowls placed on the board, one filled with white cottage cheese near the ham, and the other with a creamy orange-colored sandwich spread near the toasted bread. The surface beneath the board is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
