This Triple Decker Turkey Club Sandwich is made with 3 slices of bread in each sandwich, which is why it’s called a triple-decker. The extra slice of bread makes the sandwich even more satisfying and goes great with all the different filling ingredients. There are three different kinds of meat in this sandwich – turkey, ham, and bacon. Then there are the tomato slices, lettuce, and cheese. So, it’s great to have the extra slice of lightly toasted white bread to hold everything together and balance out the taste for the perfect, delicious sandwich. 

Club Sandwiches are similar to a classic BLT (Bacon Lettuce and Tomato), but they have the addition of ham and turkey. The flavorful and tender meat pairs perfectly with the fresh tomato and crisp lettuce in each bite. The refreshing taste of Club Sandwiches is great to enjoy for lunch, or divided into quarters and served on a party tray. Make sure to stick toothpicks through the center of your sandwich so they don’t fall apart.

This is the perfect recipe to make after Thanksgiving to use any leftover Roasted Turkey. It’s a great way to reuse the extra meat without just reheating the same meal. Of course, you can also make a Club Sandwich any time of year with meat from the deli. Either way, it’s a delightful sandwich that’s sure to satisfy!

HOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT CLUB SANDWICH

  • Bacon: Put your skillet over medium-high heat. Cook up the slices of bacon in batches. It should take 4-5 minutes to cook them through.
  • Bread: While the bacon is cooking you can also cook the slices of bread. Once they’re done toasting spread mayonnaise over one side of each slice of bread. 
  • Assemble: Put a slice of bread mayo side up. Layer it with sliced tomatoes, salt, pepper, lettuce leaf, and 4 slices of bacon. Repeat this with the other 3 sandwiches. Top the beginning of all 4 sandwiches off with the next slice of bread with the mayo facing down. Before adding the other ingredients spread mayonnaise over the top of that slice of bread. Add more lettuce, a slice of cheese, 2 slices of ham, and 2 slices of turkey. Finish the sandwich by topping the turkey off with the last slices of bread. 
  • Serve: Press down gently on each sandwich, then stick 4 toothpicks in each sandwich (1 toothpick in every corner.) Without the toothpicks, the sandwich will fall apart before you get to serve it. Use a serrated knife to cut each sandwich into quarters and serve.

VARIATIONS ON TRIPLE DECKER CLUB SANDWICH

  • Bread: Instead of the regular slices of white sandwich bread, you can use all different kinds of bread for this sandwich. Try sourdough, wheat bread, challah, French bread, or sub rolls. 
  • Dressings: You can spread different condiments over the bread instead of just mayo. Ranch, mustard, relish, or thousand island dressing could all taste amazing in this sandwich.
  • Add-ins: Try different vegetables in your Triple Decker Club Sandwich like pickles, bell peppers, spinach, onions, or cucumbers. 
  • Cheese: Instead of cheddar cheese you could use sliced provolone, mozzarella, gouda, Pepper Jack, or Swiss cheese.

SIDE DISHES TO SERVE WITH YOUR SANDWICH

HOW TO STORE TRIPLE DECKER CLUB SANDWICH

  • Serve: Don’t leave the Club Sandwich at room temperature for longer than 2 hours. 
  • Store: Store any leftover sandwiches wrapped tightly in plastic wrap to store in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you’re worried about the bread getting soggy, take the bread off. Store the sandwich filling in an airtight container and put it in fresh bread before serving. 
  • Freeze: Some of the sandwich fillings like lettuce and tomato won’t freeze well, but you can freeze the meat to assemble it in a sandwich later. It will keep well for up to 3 months.
