TURKEY CLUB

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.
