Variations

The club sandwich is versatile as well. While the original ingredients include turkey, bacon, ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo, you can definitely switch things up. You have the freedom to omit any of the turkey, bacon, and ham and replace them with chicken, especially if you have some leftover from dinner. This would be a great way to consume your food.

Additionally, you really don’t have to stick with white bread either. To make your sandwich much healthier, you may opt for wheat bread. You can also go for sourdough or even rye.

Closing Thoughts

The classic club sandwich is another healthy food item for lunch or snack time. Once you have all the ingredients ready, it would only take a few minutes to set up your sandwich. You also have the freedom to add or omit some ingredients. The key is, start with the basic club sandwich, then work from there. You can add as many toppings and layers as you want!
