Q1: Can I make this turkey club sandwich ahead of time?

Yes, you can prep ingredients like the aioli and bacon in advance. However, it’s best to assemble the sandwich just before eating to avoid soggy bread.

Q2: What are good substitutes for turkey in this sandwich?

You can use chicken breast, ham, or even tofu for a vegetarian version. Rotisserie chicken or deli slices work well for convenience.

Q3: Is it necessary to toast the bread?

Toasting is optional but adds structure and a slight crunch. If you're packing the sandwich for later, leaving the bread untoasted may help maintain softness.

Q4: Can I make the sun-dried tomato aioli without a blender?

Yes. Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic, then mix them thoroughly with the mayonnaise by hand.

Instructions

Make the sun-dried tomato aioli by blending 2 tablespoons of sun-dried tomatoes, 1 clove of garlic, and mayonnaise until smooth.
Cook bacon until crispy and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
Toast the bread if desired for added texture, or leave it soft for a classic deli feel.
Spread the sun-dried tomato aioli on both slices of bread.
Layer turkey slices, bacon, remaining sun-dried tomatoes, avocado slices, and romaine lettuce on one slice of bread.
Top with the second slice of bread, press slightly, and slice in half before serving.

Notes

Make the aioli ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to a week.
Use high-quality deli turkey for the best flavor.
Don’t overstuff the sandwich to make it easier to eat.
Skip toasting if packing for lunch to maintain bread softness.
Wrap version: Use a large tortilla and roll tightly with the same fillings.
