This epic sandwich is both tasty and easy to make. We love it for our mixed-diet home - my husband the carnivore gets the meaty version, I get the vegetarian, and everyone wins!
Yield: 4sandwiches
Ingredients
12piecesthin-sliced sourdough bread
8slicesbaconor tofu bacon*
2tomatosthinly sliced
8lettuce leaveswashed and dried; I like romaine or green leaf lettuce
8tablespoonsmayonnaiseor vegan mayo
4ouncessliced turkeyor tofurky or other veggie turkey
4ouncessliced hamor hickory-smoked tofurky or veggie ham
1dashsaltto taste
1dashpepperto taste
Instructions
Toast the bread. Smear each slice with mayonnaise - I find that about two tablespoons per sandwich (which would be two tablespoons divided between three slices of bread) is perfect, but I like a generous smear of mayo, so adjust according to your tastes.
Top 8 of the bread slices with the turkey (or veggie turkey), then the ham (or veggie ham), lettuce, tomato, and bacon. Dash a little salt and pepper over the top if you like. Stack one filled slice on top of the other, then flip a piece of bread with just mayo over the top, mayo side down.
Place toothpicks or skewers through middle top of the bread, the middle bottom, and on each side. Use a large knife to cut sandwich diagonally into four pieces. The sandwich pieces should stay together thanks to the toothpick/skewer.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Vegetarian option
Use veggie turkey, veggie ham, and tofu bacon (or bacon substitute of your choosing).
Vegan option
See the vegetarian option, but also use vegan mayo. * my favorite tofu bacon recipe is my own! Click here for the recipe. I love to make extra and freeze it for quicker and easier club sandwiches.
