Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 6 slices sandwich bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 4–6 oz sliced turkey breast
- 4 slices cooked bacon
- 2 leaves lettuce (romaine or iceberg)
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 2 slices cheddar or Swiss cheese (optional)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Toast the bread slices until golden and let cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard (if using); spread mixture on one side of each toast slice.
- Layer on one slice: turkey, lettuce, and tomato; season tomato with salt and pepper.
- If using cheese, add a slice of cheese on top of the tomato layer.
- Add a second slice of bread (spread side up) to create the middle layer. Spread mayo-mustard mixture on top.
- Layer with bacon and an additional lettuce leaf.
- Top with the final bread slice, spread side down.
- Secure sandwich with toothpicks at corners and slice diagonally into quarters or halves.
- Arrange on a plate and serve immediately, optionally with chips or pickles.
Notes
- Use crispy bacon for added texture and flavor.
- Substitute turkey with grilled chicken breast or roast beef for variation.
- For extra zest, add sliced avocado or a smear of pesto.
- Make it open-faced: serve on two slices instead of triple-decker if preferred.
- Best enjoyed fresh; store components separately if prepping ahead to avoid soggy bread.
