What You’ll Need
Ingredient Notes
- Turkey- You can use sandwich meat or leftover turkey from one you’ve cooked. Breast meat is best.
- Bread- Any bread will do, but choose one that is sturdy enough for this sandwich.
- Cheese- I used Havarti cheese, which is slightly acidic and has a buttery flavor.
- Lettuce- Any kind is fine, but choose one with some crunch, like iceberg, romaine, or Bibb lettuce.
Add-ins and Substitutions
- Substitute another cheese- Make this with Monterey jack, pepperjack, cheddar, or Swiss.
- Add other vegetables- You can also make this with the addition of onions, spinach, or avocado.
- Substitute the dressing- Besides mayo and Dijon, enjoy this sandwich with cranberry sauce, maple syrup, Italian dressing, or Homemade BBQ Sauce.
- Add other proteins- Try this recipe with the addition of ham for a saltier flavor, or substitute egg, roast beef, chicken, or any sandwich meat you like.
How to Make a Turkey Club Sandwich
- Toast the bread. Start off by toasting the 3 slices of bread in the toaster.
- Add the dressing. Then spread the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on 1 side of each slice of bread.
- Layer the ingredients. Now place the bread mayo side up and on only 2 of the bread slices add the lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, turkey, and bacon.
- Assemble the sandwich. Place the 3rd slice of bread on top and enjoy!
Pro Tip: Layer the tomato between the cheese and lettuce to create a barrier to avoid soggy bread.
Recipe Tips
- Toast the bread- Toasting it will make it more sturdy to hold the fillings and also ward off moisture that will make it soggy.
- Make the bacon crispy- There is nothing better than the crunchy bite of bacon on this club sandwich, so try to use thicker cut bacon that is nice and crispy.
- Add a generous amount of dressing- Spread a generous layer of mayo and Dijon on the bread to keep this sandwich flavorful and moist.
FAQs
A club, or clubhouse sandwich, is made up of three slices of toasted bread, meat, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise layered together with one slice of bread in the middle. It’s usually cut into quarters and held together with toothpicks.
A club sandwich can be served hot or cold, but traditionally it is assembled while the turkey and bacon are still hot.

Make This Recipe in Advance
Make ahead: You can prepare the bacon ahead of time and cut the tomatoes, storing both in the fridge. When you’re ready, just warm up the bacon and assemble the sandwich.
Storing: Store this Turkey Club Sandwich in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap or foil in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The longer it sits though, the more the juices from the tomato will leak into the bread.
