Description
Saddle up for the Cowboy Club! Layered sourdough, spiced Pepper Jack, crispy turkey turkey bacon, and smoked turkey are bound by a smoky aioli. Full instructions and nutrition included.
Ingredients
Scale
- 9 slices Sourdough Bread
- 8 oz. Sliced Smoked Turkey
- 6 slices Thick-cut Turkey Bacon
- 4 slices Pepper Jack Cheese
- 1 large Tomato, thinly sliced
- 6 large Romaine Lettuce leaves
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
Instructions
- Step 1: Cook the turkey bacon until it is very crisp. While the turkey bacon cooks, prepare the smoky aioli by thoroughly mixing the mayonnaise and smoked paprika. Set aside the cooked turkey bacon on paper towels to drain.
- Step 2: Toast all nine slices of bread until they are golden brown. While the bread is still hot, immediately place 2 slices of Pepper Jack cheese onto three of the toasted slices (these will form the bottom layer of the sandwiches) and allow the cheese to soften or melt slightly.
- Step 3: Begin assembly by spreading the smoky aioli evenly on both sides of the remaining six slices of bread. On the cheesy bottom slices, layer a generous portion of smoked turkey, then top with a middle slice of bread (spread-side up).
- Step 4: On the middle layer, stack two slices of the crispy turkey bacon, followed by 2-3 thin slices of tomato. Finish this layer with 2 large Romaine lettuce leaves.
- Step 5: Place the final toasted slice of bread on top of the lettuce (the top layer). Secure the towering sandwich with two long skewers or toothpicks placed diagonally before slicing.
- Step 6: Cut the finished sandwich into four distinct triangles and serve immediately, typically accompanied by pickles or fries.
Notes
- Since this is a massive club, store the toasted components (meat and bread) separately from the fresh produce if preparing ahead of time, adding the lettuce and tomato just before final assembly for maximum crunch.
- While a fully built club doesn't reheat well, if you must save leftovers, remove the fresh vegetables and gently warm the meaty, cheesy slices on a low-heat griddle or in a toaster oven before re-stacking.
- Elevate the "Cowboy" theme by skipping standard fries; instead, serve these hearty triangles alongside a sweet and tangy vinegar-based coleslaw or a basket of crispy sweet potato waffle fries.
- For the best textural contrast, ensure your turkey beef bacon is cooked until it is truly shatteringly crisp, and don't hesitate to use slightly less paprika if you prefer a subtle smoke flavor over a dominant one.
