Triple-Decker Club Sandwich

12 slices white bread
16 slices thick-cut bacon
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of white pepper
1/2 lb cooked turkey breast, thinly sliced
2 tomatoes, sliced
8 large iceberg lettuce leaves, torn into pieces

Toast the bread slices until golden brown. Set
aside. In a large nonstick frying pan over medium
heat, cook the bacon, turning once, until crisp, 4-6
minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with a double
thickness of paper towels and set aside. In a small
bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt
and white pepper, mixing well.

Assemble the bacon, lemon mayonnaise, turkey, tomatoes
and lettuce around a large work surface before you
begin to make the sandwiches. Lay the bread slices on
the work surface and spread them evenly with the lemon
mayonnaise. Top 4 of the bread slices with an equal
amount of the turkey, followed by half of the lettuce.

Top the lettuce with a second slice of bread,
mayonnaise side up. Place an equal number of tomato
slices and then 4 bacon slices on each sandwich, and
top with the remaining lettuce. Place the 4 remaining
bread slices, mayonnaise side down, on top. Press down
gently to compact the sandwiches and secure them with
toothpicks.

To serve, using a serrated knife, slice into halves or
quarters, then transfer to individual plates. Serves 4
