Ingredients

  • ½ cup mayonnaise (divided)
  • 2 ounces sun dried tomatoes (drained)
  • 2 cloves garlic (or more to taste)
  • 4 slices sourdough bread (or your favorite bread or use a wrap/tortilla)
  • 6 slices turkey deli meat (divided)
  • 6 slices bacon (cooked)
  • 2 ounces sun dried tomatoes (drained)
  • 1 avocado (divided)
  • 4 leaves romaine lettuce (divided)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Make the sun dried tomato mayonnaise by combining sun dried tomatoes, garlic, and half of the mayonnaise in a wide mouth mason jar. Blend until smooth and well combined.
  2. Step 2: Lay out the slices of bread or your chosen wrap. Spread the sun dried tomato mayonnaise generously on each side of the bread.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 slices of turkey deli meat to one slice of bread, then layer 3 pieces of cooked bacon on top.
  4. Step 4: Top with sun dried tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a leaf of romaine lettuce.
  5. Step 5: If making a wrap, repeat the layering process on the tortilla, then tightly roll it up and secure with toothpicks. Cut in half if desired.
  6. Step 6: For sandwiches, place the second slice of bread on top, press gently, and cut in half. Serve with a side salad or chips and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

  • Try swapping sourdough for whole-grain bread or a spinach wrap for added flavor and nutrition.
  • Add a slice of your favorite cheese, such as Swiss or cheddar, for a richer taste.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, mix a pinch of cayenne pepper into the sun dried tomato mayonnaise.
  • For a vegetarian option, replace turkey and bacon with grilled vegetables or plant-based deli slices.

Storage

Store any leftover sandwich components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble fresh before eating to prevent sogginess. If the sandwich is fully assembled, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and keep refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Reheat bacon separately if desired, but it’s best served crispy and fresh.

How to Serve

The image shows a sandwich cut in half, with two thick slices of crusty light brown bread, each with a rough texture and large air holes. Between the bread layers, from bottom to top, there is a thick slice of cooked turkey breast, bright green leafy lettuce, slices of avocado, and a layer of red sun-dried tomatoes spread. The sandwich halves are placed on top of a piece of crumpled brown parchment paper on a wooden cutting board with some black pepper scattered around. In the background, another full sandwich sits on a white plate next to a glass of water and a small white bowl with orange sauce. A black and white checkered cloth is visible on the right side. The surface is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of sun dried tomatoes?

Fresh tomatoes won’t provide the same concentrated flavor or texture. If you don’t have sun dried tomatoes, try using sun dried tomato paste or omit them for a milder taste.

Is it possible to make this sandwich gluten-free?

Absolutely! Simply substitute the sourdough bread with your favorite gluten-free bread or use a gluten-free wrap to keep the sandwich gluten-free.

Description

This Easy Turkey Club Sandwich is a flavorful and satisfying meal featuring layers of turkey deli meat, crispy bacon, fresh avocado, romaine lettuce, and a zesty sun dried tomato mayonnaise spread, all sandwiched between slices of sourdough bread or wrapped in a tortilla for a handheld delight. Perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner, this recipe combines classic club sandwich ingredients with a tangy twist from sun dried tomatoes and garlic mayo.


Ingredients

Scale

Sun Dried Tomato Mayonnaise

  • ½ cup mayonnaise (divided)
  • 2 ounces sun dried tomatoes (drained, divided)
  • 2 cloves garlic (or more to taste)

Sandwich Components

  • 4 slices sourdough bread (or your favorite bread or use a wrap/tortilla)
  • 6 slices turkey deli meat (divided)
  • 6 slices bacon (cooked)
  • 1 avocado (divided)
  • 4 leaves romaine lettuce (divided)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sun Dried Tomato Mayonnaise: In a wide-mouth mason jar or a small blender, combine the sun dried tomatoes, garlic cloves, and half of the mayonnaise. Blend or process until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, creating a flavorful sun dried tomato mayo spread.
  2. Lay Out the Bread or Wrap: Arrange the four slices of sourdough bread on a clean surface. If using a wrap or tortilla instead, lay it flat on the countertop, ready for assembly.
  3. Spread the Mayo: Evenly spread the prepared sun dried tomato mayonnaise on both sides of each bread slice or on the inside of the wrap to ensure every bite is infused with flavor.
  4. Layer the Turkey and Bacon: Place 3 slices of turkey deli meat on two of the bread slices (or half the wrap), then add 3 cooked bacon slices on top of the turkey for each sandwich. This creates the hearty protein base for the club sandwich.
  5. Add the Sun Dried Tomatoes and Avocado: Distribute the remaining sun dried tomatoes evenly over the bacon, then layer with sliced avocado from half the avocado for each sandwich, adding creamy texture and richness.
  6. Top with Romaine Lettuce: Place a leaf of romaine lettuce on top of each sandwich filling to add crunch and freshness.
  7. Assemble and Serve: Place the remaining bread slices on top to complete the sandwiches. For wraps, tightly roll them up and secure with toothpicks before cutting in half. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve with your choice of a side salad or chips for a classic meal experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute the sourdough bread with your favorite artisan bread or use wraps for a lighter, handheld version.
