Easy Turkey Club Sandwich Recipe

Introduction

This easy Turkey Club Sandwich is a delicious twist on a classic favorite, packed with flavorful sun dried tomato mayonnaise, crispy bacon, and fresh avocado. Perfect for a quick lunch or a satisfying snack, it combines savory and creamy textures in every bite.

A sandwich cut in half sits on a wooden board covered with light brown paper, with a white marbled surface beneath. The sandwich has three visible layers: the bottom layer is light brown toasted bread with holes, topped with a thick slice of light pink turkey meat; above that is green leaf lettuce with a fresh, crinkly texture; and the top layer is sun-dried tomato spread with a chunky red color. The sandwich is held together with a clear round sandwich pick. In the background, another sandwich is on a white plate with more leafy greens visible, and next to it is a small white bowl of orange sauce and a clear glass of water. A black-and-white checkered cloth is partially visible on the right side. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • ½ cup mayonnaise (divided)
  • 2 ounces sun dried tomatoes (drained)
  • 2 cloves garlic (or more to taste)
  • 4 slices sourdough bread (or your favorite bread or use a wrap/tortilla)
  • 6 slices turkey deli meat (divided)
  • 6 slices bacon (cooked)
  • 2 ounces sun dried tomatoes (drained)
  • 1 avocado (divided)
  • 4 leaves romaine lettuce (divided)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Make the sun dried tomato mayonnaise by combining the sun dried tomatoes, garlic, and half of the mayonnaise in a wide-mouth mason jar or small blender. Blend until smooth and well combined.
  2. Step 2: Lay out the slices of bread or wraps and spread the sun dried tomato mayonnaise evenly on each slice or side.
  3. Step 3: On half of the bread slices, layer 3 slices of turkey deli meat per sandwich, followed by 3 pieces of cooked bacon.
  4. Step 4: Add additional sun dried tomatoes, avocado slices, and a leaf of romaine lettuce on top of the bacon.
  5. Step 5: If using wraps, roll them tightly, secure with toothpicks, and cut in half. If using bread, sandwich the paired slices together and cut in half.
  6. Step 6: Serve your Turkey Club Sandwich with a side salad or chips and enjoy immediately.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, lightly toast the bread before assembling the sandwich to add a bit of crunch.
  • You can substitute turkey with chicken or ham if preferred.
  • Add a slice of cheese, like Swiss or cheddar, for a richer sandwich.
  • Use wraps for a handheld option that’s easy to pack for lunches.
  • If you like spice, add a pinch of crushed red pepper to the sun dried tomato mayonnaise.

Storage

Store any leftover sandwich components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble fresh before eating to keep the bread from getting soggy. If assembled, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate; consume within 24 hours. Reheat the sandwich briefly in a toaster oven if desired, but avoid microwaving to maintain texture.

FAQs

Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of sun dried tomatoes?

Fresh tomatoes won’t provide the same concentrated flavor or texture in the mayonnaise. However, you can finely chop fresh tomatoes and drain excess liquid, but expect a milder taste.

How do I make the bacon crispy for the sandwich?

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and crisp, or bake it on a lined sheet pan at 400°F (200°C) for about 15 minutes, turning halfway through for even crispiness.
