# What You Need:
→ Meats
01 - 4 slices cooked turkey breast or chicken breast
02 - 4 slices cooked ham (optional)
03 - 4 slices cooked bacon
→ Bread & Spreads
04 - 6 slices white or whole wheat sandwich bread, toasted

09 - 4 sandwich toothpicks
# Directions:
01 - Toast all 6 bread slices until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
02 - Spread mayonnaise evenly over one side of each toasted bread slice.
03 - Place 2 toast slices mayo-side up on a clean work surface. Layer each with half the turkey or chicken, 1 slice of ham if using, 2 strips of bacon, tomato slices, and a lettuce leaf. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
04 - Top each stack with a second toast slice mayo-side up. Repeat layering with the remaining turkey or chicken, ham, bacon, tomato slices, and lettuce. Season again with salt and pepper.
05 - Place the third toast slice mayo-side down on top of each stacked sandwich to complete the triple-decker assembly.
06 - Insert 2 toothpicks into each sandwich to hold the layers together. Using a sharp knife, cut each sandwich diagonally into 4 triangular wedges.
07 - Arrange the wedge sections on plates and serve immediately with potato chips or a side salad alongside.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It delivers that restaurant quality triple decker experience in under thirty minutes from start to plate.
- The contrast of crunchy toast, salty bacon, and fresh vegetables hits every texture and flavor note you could want at lunch.
02 -
- Wet tomatoes will make the bread soggy fast so pat the slices dry with a paper towel before layering them in.
- Letting the bacon cool slightly before assembling prevents the heat from wilting your lettuce into a sad mess.
03 -
- Toasting the bread a shade darker than you think you need keeps it structurally sound under all those moist layers.
- Use the flat of your palm to press down gently before cutting so the toothpicks land in stable positions and the wedges hold their shape.
