    Classic Turkey Club Sandwich with turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo

    The club sandwich is believed to have originated in the 1890s at an exclusive gentlemen’s club in Saratoga Springs, New York, known for its double-decker construction and toasted bread. It became a staple of American hotel and diner menus throughout the 20th century, prized for its hearty layers of turkey, bacon, lettuce, and tomato.

    Triple-decker, stacked high, and packed with flavor

    Layers of turkey, crispy bacon, lettuce, and tomato are stacked between toasted bread with mayonnaise for the classic American club sandwich.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Toast all the bread slices.
    2. Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice.
    3. Layer the first slice with turkey and lettuce, then top with a second slice of bread.
    4. Add bacon and tomato on the second layer, then top with the third slice.
    5. Secure with toothpicks and cut diagonally into quarters.
    6. Serve immediately.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Toasting the bread well helps it hold up to the layers without getting soggy. Secure each quarter with a toothpick before slicing so the sandwich stays together.
