# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes but tastes like you've been cooking all morning.
  • The contrast between crispy toast, tender turkey, and that salty bacon creates something genuinely crave-worthy.
  • You can customize it endlessly while keeping the foundation solid—perfect for feeding different tastes at the same table.
02 -
  • Don't assemble this more than 15 minutes before eating or the bread will start absorbing moisture and turning soft, no matter how well you toasted it.
  • The mayo does double duty as both flavor and barrier—it's not optional if you want this sandwich to stay structurally sound from first to last bite.
  • Ripe tomatoes are non-negotiable; a bad one will taste watery and thin everything else out.
03 -
  • Toast your bread slightly underdone if you're serving these in hot weather—it'll soften as it sits and absorbs the mayo.
  • Warm turkey tastes significantly better than cold, so if your turkey has been in the fridge, warm it gently before layering.
  • The diagonal cut isn't just tradition; it actually gives you better structural support and makes the sandwich easier to hold without things sliding out.
