Step by step

Method

4 steps

1. 1

   Toast 6 slices of sandwich bread until golden and crisp on both sides — pale soft toast will go soggy fast. Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice.

2. 2

   Build two stacks: on the first toast (mayo up), layer turkey, tomato slices, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cap with a second toast, mayo side up.

3. 3

   Add lettuce and 3–4 strips of cooked bacon per sandwich, then finish with the last toast, mayo side down. Press gently so it holds.

4. 4

   Secure with toothpicks through each quarter, cut into triangles, and serve right away. You want stacked toast with juicy turkey, crisp bacon, and cool lettuce — not soggy bread or a dry underfilled stack.
