Mediterranean Turkey Club Sandwich

This Mediterranean Turkey Club Sandwich recipe was made with ingredients and monetary compensation from Mezzetta.

Growing up I didn't eat very many sandwiches other than the occasional fried bologna with cheese or banana and peanut butter, two common southern staples. My mom was never a huge fan of sandwiches, so it's not something I was used to eating. Can you believe I never even had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich until I made one for myself as a tween? I know!

Today, though, I love trying out all sorts of different sandwiches. Over the years, the classic turkey club sandwich has become one my favorites since turkey is one of my favorite meats to eat, and everything is better with a (or many) slice of crisp, crunchy salty bacon, right? However, as much as I love turkey clubs, the same old same old can get, well, old. That's why I was happy to reinvent one of my favorites with the help of Mezzetta products!

Mediterranean Turkey Club Sandwich

For my Mediterranean turkey club sandwich, I chose to use Mezzetta's sun dried tomatoes and sliced Kalamata olives, plus I love olives so much, I had a couple of the garlic stuffed olives on the side. While I didn't include them on the sandwich, Mezzetta also sent me a few jars of grilled artichokes and - oh my - they are so delicious I have been eating them straight from the jar! Keeping up with the Mediterranean theme, I also used sliced goat cheese (feta would also be great), sliced red onion and spinach.  I then filled out the sandwich with sliced turkey, crisp bacon and a smear of mashed avocado (mayo would also work great) on a couple slices of sourdough bread.

Mediterranean Turkey Club Sandwich

The resulting sandwich was SO good and a nice change from the same old classic turkey club! It was full of salty goodness from the bacon, and olives, a bit of tang from the sundried tomatoes (PS, I love using these since the taste of fresh tomatoes are always hit or miss for me), the light meatiness of the turkey with the crunch of the bacon and onion. All the components I love in a great sandwich. In fact, it's so good that I'm going to enter it into Mezzetta's annual "Make That Sandwich" contest for a chance to win $25,000!
