Ingredients
  

Main
  • 24 slices bread white, wheat, or sourdough
  • 1 pound cooked turkey breast thinly sliced
  • 1 pound cooked ham thinly sliced
  • 1 pound bacon cooked crispy
  • 1 large head of lettuce washed and dried, leaves separated
  • 8 ripe tomatoes thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.5 cup Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Wooden skewers or toothpicks for securing the sandwiches

Equipment

  • Toaster
  • Knife

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Toast the bread slices to your desired crispness to prevent sogginess and add texture.
  2. Spread mayonnaise on one side of 8 slices of toast, then top each with lettuce, tomato slices, and turkey for the bottom layer.
  3. Place another 8 slices of toast on the turkey layer, spread Dijon mustard on them, and then layer with ham and crispy bacon for the middle.
  4. Top with the remaining 8 slices of toast, then secure each sandwich with four wooden skewers or toothpicks in each corner to hold the layers together.
  5. Carefully slice each club sandwich into quarters, creating four triangular pieces, and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can lightly butter one side of the bread before toasting.
Feel free to customize with your favorite cheese, such as cheddar or Swiss, or add avocado slices for a creamy texture.
To make ahead for a large crowd, prepare the components separately and assemble just before serving to ensure freshness.
