Best California Club Turkey Sandwich Recipes

CALIFORNIA CLUB SANDWICH

Steps:

• To prepare the bread, toast it whichever way you like, in the oven, in a toaster, or under a broiler. Both sides must be toasted.
• Spread one side of each bread slice with mayonnaise. Top two of the bread slices in the following order. Lettuce, two tomato slices, seasoning of salt and pepper (to taste), two slices of bacon, chicken slices, avocado slices, and again a seasoning of salt and pepper to taste.
• Place one layered bread slice chicken side up onto the second layered bread slice and then cover everything with the remaining bread slice mayonnaise side down.
• Secure the sandwich layers by inserting through the top four toothpicks in a diamond-like pattern. Make sure that you've pierced the sandwich all the way to the bottom.
• With a serrated knife, cut the sandwich into four triangular pieces.

TURKEY CLUB

Steps:

• Bread: Use 3 slices of a good white sandwich bread (pain au lait or Pullman loaves are ideal). Be sure to toast it!
• Lettuce: Bibb and Boston lettuce both have nice small, soft leaves that fit well on the sandwich; shredded iceberg can be unruly.
• Tomatoes: Add 2 slices of tomato to each layer of a club; season with salt and pepper before you continue building the sandwich.
• Turkey: Fresh roasted turkey is key. Rub a 2 1/4-pound skinless, boneless turkey breast with olive oil; sprinkle generously with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Roast 10 minutes at 425˚ F, then reduce to 350˚ F and roast until the internal temperature is 160˚ F, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool, then slice.
• Mayonnaise: Spread a thick layer of mayo on each slice of toasted bread.
• Bacon: You'll want 3 slices per sandwich (1 1/2 slices in each layer). Halve the slices first, then cook in a skillet over medium heat until crisp.
