There is a good reason I haven’t stopped craving this crunchy, juicy + mouthwatering Turkey Bacon Club Sandwich! I’m no stranger to a local New England deli, and this scrumptious sandwich rivals anything I have ever paid for. I absolutely love a good, old fashioned American club sandwich – a simple and comforting combination of tender, thick-cut turkey, crispy bacon, fresh tomato and lettuce, red onion, and a swipe of mayonnaise on buttery, lightly toasted bread. Easy and oh-so yummy!
This is what lunchtime dreams are made of, y’all.
Let’s jump right into some other options, in case you want to switch up some ingredients in your stack.
- Want a wrap? Use a tortilla instead of bread.
- Swap turkey for ham, roast beef, or chicken.
- Spread on mustard, aoili, or your favorite salad dressing.
- Double-up the meat in one sandwich. Turkey and ham is a popular combo.
- Make it a lettuce wrap for a low-carb sandwich.
- Put cheddar, Swiss cheese, muenster, pepper jack, or provolone on your club.
- Add sliced avocado for extra flavor and nutrition.
Ready to make your own Ultimate Turkey Bacon Club Sandwich?
• Lightly toast bread on both sides. Arrange 3 bread slices in a row. Spread mayonnaise over each bread slice. Place lettuce on top, followed by tomato slices and red onion slices.
• Place second bread slice on top, mayo side down. Top with half of bacon and 1-2 slices of turkey (without letting any hang over the sides). Top with additional lettuce. Cover with the third bread slice, mayo side down.
• Pin sandwich layers down with two picks on either side. Slice in half or quarters. Pin each section with a pick. Repeat entire process with remaining ingredients to form one more sandwich.
• Serve with pimento stuffed olives and/or dill pickle slices, if desired.

What makes up the perfect Club Sandwich?
• Thick-cut deli turkey: A juicy, thick slice of turkey is a must-do for this mouthwatering club! Go to your deli counter and order 1/4-inch thick slices of oven roasted turkey (or similar). About half a pound is perfect. It may take a couple tries to get it right. Show them this picture if you need to! ↑
• Crispy cooked bacon: Cook your bacon strips in a skillet (medium heat, 6-8 minutes) or oven (400° for 15-20 minutes), just get them crisp! They don’t need to be hot for this sandwich, so let them sit on a paper towel lined plate while you prep everything else. A thicker, good quality bacon is best, since you don’t want it crumbling in the sandwich.
• Fresh veggies: Make sure your lettuce, tomato and red onion are fresh and tender. No soggy lettuce or spotty tomatoes welcome here. You want a good *crunch* when you bite into this sandwich. Good quality veggies make the end result even better than you imagined.
• Lightly toasted bread: Three layers of hearty sandwich bread make up the classic club. Use white or wheat bread. Lightly toasted to barely golden brown is what you want. I used Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Hearty White (not sponsored), and it gave this sandwich perfect structure and softness.

It just doesn’t get better than a stacked-up club sandwich loaded with fresh, good quality ingredients. This sandwich is so crisp, crunchy and buttery-soft with 100x better flavor than your local restaurant and all the goodness of homemade comfort cooking… except, there’s hardly any cooking here!
