# What You’ll Need:

→ Proteins

01 - 4 slices turkey bacon
02 - 6 oz sliced roasted turkey breast

→ Bread

03 - 6 slices whole wheat or white sandwich bread

→ Vegetables

04 - 2 leaves romaine lettuce

# Steps:

01 - Cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
02 - Toast the bread slices until golden brown.
03 - Spread mayonnaise (and Dijon mustard, if using) evenly on one side of each bread slice.
04 - Place a slice of bread, mayo side up, on a plate. Layer with lettuce, sliced turkey breast, and a slice of cheese.
05 - Top with a second slice of bread, mayo side down. Spread mayo on the top side, then layer with turkey bacon, tomato slices, and avocado (if using).
06 - Finish with the third slice of bread, mayo side down. Gently press down, then use a sharp knife to cut the sandwich diagonally into halves or quarters. Secure each section with a toothpick if desired.
07 - Serve immediately with your favorite side.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The crispy turkey bacon adds this perfect smoky crunch that regular sandwiches miss
  • Three layers of toasted bread mean every bite has that satisfying crunch without getting soggy
  • You can throw this together in under 30 minutes with ingredients you probably already have
02 -
  • Patting your tomato slices dry with paper towels is the secret to keeping your bread from getting soggy
  • Let the bacon drain on paper towels for at least a minute so it stays extra crispy
  • A serrated knife works best for cutting through all those layers without squishing everything
03 -
  • Assemble the sandwich close to serving time because even with toasted bread it will get soggy if it sits too long
  • Use toothpicks through each triangle to hold everything together when serving
  • Warm the turkey slightly in the microwave for 15 seconds before layering it makes such a difference
