What Is a Club Sandwich?

A club sandwich, also called a clubhouse or double-decker sandwich, includes two layers of fillings between three slices of bread. It is usually cut into quarters and held together with cocktail sticks. The traditional club ingredients are turkey on the bottom layer, and bacon, lettuce, and tomato on the top. Though it's a healthier version, this recipe is pretty darn close to the real thing.
