Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

- Green Leaf Lettuce: or romaine
- Beefsteak Tomatoes: or your favorite tomato variety
- Vegan Mayo: make my WFPB mayo for an oil-free option
- Avocados: optional but delicious on this sandwich
- Red Onion: optional. Feel free to use a yellow onion as well
Pro Tip: Lightly toast the bread for better structure and crunch.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1. Prepare the tofu bacon.
Step 2. While the bacon is marinating, prepare the turkey deli meat.
Step 3. When the meats are ready, lightly toast your sandwich bread.
Step 4. Assemble the sandwiches - add mayo to one slice of bread, then red onion (if using), lettuce, tomato, tofu bacon, seitan turkey, avocado (if using), and the remaining slice of bread. Cut in half and stack for the classic club style.
Pro Tip: Use a sharp serrated knife to slice the stacked sandwich cleanly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with chips, fruit, or a fresh salad on the side.
Pro Tip: Secure each half with a toothpick or sandwich pick to hold layers in place.
FAQ & Expert Tips
Feel free to prep the tofu bacon and seitan turkey in advance - then assemble the sandwich right before eating.
Hearty sandwich bread or sourdough holds up well to the layers.
You'll need to swap out the seitan turkey for a gf option - there aren't many available, but Plant Provisions sells several deli slices that are gluten-free.
Use a gluten-free sandwich bread.
