Finish, Secure, and Slice
Replace the turkey with sliced roasted chicken, ham, or roast beef for a different flavor profile.
Use chipotle or sriracha mayonnaise instead of regular mayo and add a few slices of pickled jalapeños.
Add a layer of sliced avocado and use sprouts instead of lettuce for a West Coast twist.
Omit the turkey and bacon. Use grilled halloumi cheese or a baked tofu steak as the main protein, and add extra vegetables like cucumber and bell peppers.
With significant amounts of roasted turkey and bacon, this sandwich provides high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
Turkey is a good source of B vitamins, particularly niacin (B3) and B6. These vitamins are crucial for energy metabolism, brain function, and the creation of red blood cells.
This sandwich offers minerals like selenium from turkey, which acts as an antioxidant, and phosphorus, which is vital for bone health.
A traditional Turkey Club can be high in calories, sodium, and fat due to the bacon, mayonnaise, and white bread. To make it healthier, you can use whole wheat bread, turkey bacon, light mayonnaise, and load it with extra vegetables.
A standard Turkey Club Sandwich can range from 600 to 800 calories per serving, depending on the specific ingredients used, such as the type of bread, amount of mayonnaise, and fattiness of the bacon.
The key is to use well-toasted, sturdy bread which acts as a barrier. Also, ensure your lettuce is completely dry and place it between the bread and wetter ingredients like tomato to protect the toast.
It's best served immediately after assembly for optimal texture. If you need to make it ahead, you can prepare all the components (cook bacon, slice veggies) and store them separately. Assemble just before serving to prevent the bread from becoming soft.
The middle slice of bread is the defining feature of a club sandwich. It adds stability to the tall sandwich, separates the fillings into distinct layers (typically turkey on the bottom, bacon on top), and contributes to its signature hearty texture.
