Pumpernickel Recipe 21 - Turkey Club on toasted pumpernickel

In the post-Canadian Thanksgiving leftover tradition, and in solidarity with Mind the Gap's Kyiv difficulties getting a proper toasted sandwich in Kyiv, here is a great, quick and delicious sandwich recipe that helps to get through the turkey leftovers.

Ingredients:

3 leaves lettuce, washed
1 ripe, fresh (Canadian) tomato, sliced
3 slices pumpernickel (well toasted)
3 slices crisp bacon
2.5 oz. turkey
2 slices cheddar cheese
1 tbsp mayonnaise

Directions:

Fry bacon until crisp - if pressed for time microwave - though this will reduce "Bacony goodness" quality. Toast bread well, but not burnt.

On bottom slice of bread add turkey, cheese and mayo. Add middle slice of pumpernickel. Place bacon on middle slice and top with tomato and lettuce. More mayo can be added on top slice if desired.

Insert 4 toothpicks and slice in 4 diaganally.
