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.

BREADLESS DOUBLE-DECKER TURKEY CLUB

Steps:

• Core the apple and slice into 1/4-inch-thick round slices, slicing from the center of the apple to get even pieces. Coat the apple slices with lemon juice. Place down an apple slice as the base of the sandwich and top with 2 slices of turkey, 1 slice of cheese crisscrossed, 1 slice of bacon crisscrossed and 1/4 cup arugula. Top with another slice of apple and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Top with another apple slice. If transporting for an on-the-go lunch, wrap the sandwich tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to eat.
