Steps:
- Bread: Use 3 slices of a good white sandwich bread (pain au lait or Pullman loaves are ideal). Be sure to toast it!
- Lettuce: Bibb and Boston lettuce both have nice small, soft leaves that fit well on the sandwich; shredded iceberg can be unruly.
- Tomatoes: Add 2 slices of tomato to each layer of a club; season with salt and pepper before you continue building the sandwich.
- Turkey: Fresh roasted turkey is key. Rub a 2 1/4-pound skinless, boneless turkey breast with olive oil; sprinkle generously with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Roast 10 minutes at 425˚ F, then reduce to 350˚ F and roast until the internal temperature is 160˚ F, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool, then slice.
- Mayonnaise: Spread a thick layer of mayo on each slice of toasted bread.
- Bacon: You'll want 3 slices per sandwich (1 1/2 slices in each layer). Halve the slices first, then cook in a skillet over medium heat until crisp.

ROAST TURKEY, AVOCADO AND BACON SANDWICH
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- To prepare the Roast Turkey: toss the herbs and butter into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until green and smooth. Rub the turkey breast with half of the herbed butter and with salt and pepper. Place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan and put in the oven. Let the turkey cook for 1 hour, basting every 20 minutes with the butter and pan juices. The turkey is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Let rest for 15 minutes on the cutting board.
- To assemble the sandwich: spread a thin layer of the remaining butter on 1 piece of the bread. Place 1 slice of the cheese and several slices of the turkey breast on unbuttered side of the bread. Peel and slice the avocado, toss with the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add avocado slices, crispy bacon slices, lettuce and another slice of fontina cheese to the top of that. Sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Slather the remaining piece of bread with the butter and place on unbuttered side out, on top of the bacon.
- Heat a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, swirling the pan around to coat. Put the sandwich in the pan and weigh it down with a heavy pot or can (or wrap an ordinary brick in aluminum foil and set it on top to compress the sandwich.) Toast for 1 minute, turn the sandwich over before the bread begins to burn. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve.
Tips:
- For the best results, use day-old bread. This will help the sandwiches hold together better.
- If you don't have any leftover turkey, you can use deli turkey instead.
- Use a good quality bacon. Thick-cut bacon will give you the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the bacon. This will cause the bacon to steam instead of crisp up.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy, but not burnt.
- Spread the mayonnaise on both sides of the bread. This will help to keep the sandwich moist.
- Layer the turkey, bacon, and cheese on the bread. You can add other toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, or avocado, if desired.
- Grill the sandwich in a panini press or on a griddle until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve the sandwich immediately.
Conclusion:
Toasted turkey and bacon sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for lunch, dinner, or a snack. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a sandwich that is sure to please everyone.
