Turkey Club Sandwich
Turkey Club Sandwich
There are two theories on how this popular sandwich got its name. Some say it was because it was served in club cars of trains. Others say it was because the double decker sandwich was a must on the country club menus. Either way, it is a great sandwich and a wonderful way to use up leftover turkey.
Ingredients;
4-strips of lean bacon, cut in half
12-slices of homestyle white or whole wheat bread, toasted
1/2-cup reduced fat mayonnaise
8-lettuce leaves
1-large tomato, thinly sliced
8-ounces thinly sliced turkey cooked breast
Step 1...
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels; set aside.
Step 2...
Spread 1 side of each slice of bread with some of the mayonnaise. Place a lettuce leaf on the mayonnaise side of 4 bread slices. Top each with tomato slices and 2 half strips of bacon. Add another slice of bread mayonnaise side up. Top with remaining lettuce leaves. Divide sliced turkey among sandwiches. Top with reamaining bread slices, mayonnaise side down.
Step 3...
Slice sandwiches in half diagonally and secure with a wooden toothpick.
Makes 4 sandwiches.

I have to stop reading all these great recipes or I'll be snacking before dinner!
This sounds delicious! I am going to have to make this this weekend when the whole family is home. It seems like its been forever since we've had Turkey Clubs. We started counting calories this past Christmas, so I especially appreciate the health information provided in this recipe! Thank you.
