Tips & Variations

  • Use multigrain or sourdough bread for added flavor and texture.
  • Try swapping deli turkey with grilled chicken or turkey breast slices for a fresher taste.
  • Add avocado slices or a fried egg for richness and extra protein.
  • Serve with pickles or a side of potato chips for a classic deli-style meal.

Storage

Club sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh to maintain crisp textures. If you need to store leftovers, wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. To reheat, unwrap the sandwich and warm it briefly in a toaster oven or conventional oven to keep the bread crispy—avoid microwaving as it may make the bread soggy.
