Southwestern Club Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Working in two batches if necessary, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes per side; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons rendered fat from skillet.
• Season turkey generously with salt and pepper. Add to skillet, and cook over medium heat until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
• In a small bowl, mash avocado, lime juice, and chiles with a fork; season with salt and pepper.
• Spread avocado mixture on one side of each slice of toast. Layer turkey, bacon, tomato, and toast to form four triple-decker sandwiches. To serve, skewer with toothpicks; slice in half with a serrated knife.

Steps:

• Toast the bread in a toaster, or under a broiler on both sides. Cut the lettuce leaves in half crosswise and form into 8 neat stacks.
• To make a double-decker club: On a clean work surface, arrange 3 bread slices in a row. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise over 1 side of each bread slice. Place a lettuce stack on top of the first bread slice, top with 2 tomato slices, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place 2 slices bacon over the tomatoes (broken to fit neatly if necessary) and top with 1/8 of the turkey (without letting any hang over the sides). Season the turkey with salt and pepper, to taste. Repeat with the second bread slice. Carefully place the second layered bread slice on top of the first layered bread, turkey side-up. Cover with the third bread slice, mayonnaise side-down.
• Pin the sandwich's layers together by piercing them with 4 frill picks or cocktail swords through the top bread slice, in 4 places in a diamond-like pattern, all the way to the bottom bread slice. Repeat entire process with the remaining ingredients to form 3 more sandwiches.
• Using a serrated knife cut each sandwich, diagonally, into 4 triangular pieces (each piece should be secured in the center with a pick or sword). Serve with potato chips and pickles.

Steps:

• Mix first 5 ingredients in small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to paper towels and drain. Toast bread. Spread mayonnaise mixture evenly over bread slices. Cover 2 bread slices with turkey, then tomato, avocado and bacon. Season generously with salt and pepper. Top with lettuce and remaining bread slices. Cut diagonally into quarters. Skewer each with frilly toothpick if desired and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Pound chiucken to about 1/4 inch thick, grill or bake.
• 2. Crisp bacon. I prefer to do in microwave, not much if any grease that way.
• 3. Spread guacamole liberally on both sides of bread. Add the jalapenos [if using], the chicken, bacon, cheese, lettuce and tomato.
• 4. NOTE: You can make the same basic sandie using a cajun sauce and call it a Cajun Club. Or add provolone and creamy italian dressing for an Italian. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. Oh yes, one other possibility is to add fresh cucumber or other veggies. Use your imagination for a sauce or dressing!!
