The Turkey Salad Club Sandwich is creamy turkey salad, crispy bacon, rapini, toasted potato bread, horseradish cranberry mayo, and a runny over-medium egg – the ultimate holiday leftover sandwich.
If you’ve made turkey salad your whole life and feel that it’s limited to a cold, bland mushy sandwich, this is for you. This is a Turkey Salad Club Sandwich that understands the assignment. It’s stacked. It’s messy. It’s the kind of sandwich that makes you close your eyes halfway through the first bite because the yolk drips down your wrist and you suddenly realize that life may not be one big dumpster fire after all.
What is a Turkey Salad Club Sandwich?
Let’s start with the turkey salad itself. I keep it simple but far from boring – mayo, diced hard-boiled egg, diced onion, a touch of Dijon, and yes, diced pickled jalapeños because bland food is against my religion. It’s creamy, crunchy, tangy, and everything you wish that sad deli version was.
Then we build the club. And by “build,” I mean engineering a three-story masterpiece on toasted potato bread. If you think white bread is good, potato bread is the hotter, richer cousin, and it absolutely shows out in this sandwich.
But wait. Let me introduce you to the real star: Horseradish Cranberry Mayo.
I should bottle it. I won’t, because I’m lazy and the FDA scares me, but I should. It’s the perfect blend of sweet, tangy, punchy, creamy fire (the word fire is harsh), and it ties the entire sandwich together like a bow on a chaotic holiday gift. Layer on crispy bacon. Add a fat slice of tomato. Tuck in some rapini leaves because they make you feel like it’s slightly healthy even though the rest of this is pure indulgence.
Yes, Rapini. I know, it’s so unconventional and maybe it sounds a little weird, but they’re SO good! Did you know that rapini greens can help to prevent the development of cancer causing cells? Also, a US study showed that including larger portions of broccoli rabe every week helps reduce the incidence of breast and lung cancer. I had no idea; I guess you learn something new everyday.
And then, because we are not here to half-ass anything, top it with an over-medium egg with a gloriously runny yolk. The kind of yolk that should come with a PG-13 warning.
