What is a triple decker or club sandwich?

A triple decker club sandwich has three slices of bread with two layers of ingredients including turkey or chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. Some versions may also include ham and/or cheese. These sandwiches are typically cut in triangular halves or quarters and secured with toothpicks, if necessary.

Ingredients

This sandwich is made with simple ingredients so it's important for those ingredients to be fresh and of good quality.

Bread - Fresh bakery bread is best. Any variety is fine. Use what you love.
Turkey - Deli-sliced turkey (or chicken) is perfect in this sandwich. You can also use leftover roasted turkey.
Bacon - I like thick-cut bacon for a meaty bite, but any variety is delicious.
Lettuce - Crisp varieties like romaine or iceberg work best in this sandwich.
Tomatoes - Use thin slices of vine-ripened tomatoes.
Mayo - Mayonnaise combined with chives, salt, and pepper provides another layer of flavor. If you prefer the flavor of mustard, go ahead and slather it on!

How to make

With just a few easy steps, it only takes a few minutes to assemble this sandwich for a quick weekday lunch. You can assemble the sandwich on either bread or toast. Toasting the bread adds another layer of texture and holds up well in this sandwich.

Spread mayo on one side of each slice of bread.
Layer one slice of bread with lettuce, turkey, tomato, and lettuce.
Top with the second slice of bread, mayo side down. Spread the top with more mayonnaise.
