What is a Club Sandwich?
12 slices white bread 3/4 cup mayonnaise 8 romaine lettuce leaves 16 slices vine-ripened tomatoes Salt and freshly ground black pepper 16 slices crispy cooked bacon 16 ounces sliced roasted turkey 16 frill picks, or plastic cocktail swords Serving suggestions: Potato chips Sweet Pickles Toast the bread in a toaster, or under a broiler on both sides. Cut the lettuce leaves in half crosswise and form into 8 neat stacks. To make a double-decker club: On a clean work surface, arrange 3 bread slices in a row. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise over 1 side of each bread slice. Place a lettuce stack on top of the first bread slice, top with 2 tomato slices, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place 2 slices bacon over the tomatoes (broken to fit neatly if necessary) and top with 1/8 of the turkey (without letting any hang over the sides). Season the turkey with salt and pepper, to taste. Repeat with the second bread slice. Carefully place the second layered bread slice on top of the first
