How to make a robust Cowboy Club Sandwich with crispy bacon, smoked turkey, and tangy BBQ mayo that’s a satisfying meal in minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- Sandwich Foundation:
- 12 slices Texas Toast Bread, toasted
- 1 pound smoked turkey breast, thinly sliced
- 12 slices bacon, cooked crispy
- 8 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 small head iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 2 medium ripe beefsteak tomatoes, thinly sliced
- Tangy & Zesty Layers:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup smoky BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup dill pickle chips
- 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- Essential Seasoning:
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prep Mayo: First, let’s make that tangy BBQ mayo! In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, smoky BBQ sauce, and garlic powder until well combined. This zesty spread is key for your Cowboy Club Sandwich.
- Cook Bacon & Toast: Cook your bacon until it’s perfectly crispy; drain excess fat. While the bacon cooks, toast your Texas Toast bread to a golden brown. This foundation is crucial for a great Cowboy Club Sandwich.
- Slice Ingredients: Now, prepare your fresh ingredients. Thinly slice the smoked turkey breast, sharp cheddar cheese, beefsteak tomatoes, and red onion. Shred the iceberg lettuce. Having everything ready makes assembly a breeze.
- Season Veggies: Lightly season your sliced tomatoes and shredded lettuce with a pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. This simple step adds depth and enhances the natural flavors within your Cowboy Club Sandwich.
- Assemble Sandwich: Time to build! Spread BBQ mayo on three slices of toasted Texas Toast. Layer turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and dill pickle chips between the bread slices to create your towering Cowboy Club Sandwich.
- Cut & Serve: Secure each sandwich with toothpicks, then carefully cut them into quarters. Arrange your Ultimate Cowboy Club Sandwich on a platter and serve immediately for a truly satisfying, hearty meal.
Notes
Secure layers with toothpicks before cutting to prevent collapse, a crucial step for a stable, towering sandwich.
Store leftover sandwich halves in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days to prevent sogginess.
Substitute smoked turkey with thinly sliced roast beef or ham for a delicious variation, ensuring even texture.
Serve immediately with kettle-cooked potato chips and an ice-cold sweet tea for a truly satisfying, comforting meal.
Toast Texas Toast in bacon fat for incredible smoky richness and a satisfying crunch in your sandwich.
