Cooking Instructions

• Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions. Heat oven to 400°F (205℃). Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Arrange bacon slices in a single layer on prepared baking sheets. Bake bacon until browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel–lined plate to drain.
• Brush bread slices very lightly on both sides with reserved bacon fat, then arrange on 2 clean baking sheets. Broil on the upper-middle rack, flipping halfway through, until bread is light golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Set aside.
• Sprinkle tomato slices all over with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise evenly over 1 side of each bread slice. Layer ingredients on prepared bread slices: 2 cut lettuce leaf halves, 2 tomato slices, 2 cooked bacon slices, and 2 turkey slices. Slightly overlap as needed.
• Top each sandwich with 1 bread slice, mayonnaise-side down. Press gently to secure. Repeat layering the remaining ingredients on top of the sandwiches.
• Top with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise side down. Press gently to secure and insert 4 toothpicks into each sandwich, spaced evenly. Cut each sandwich on the diagonal into triangular quarters. Serve.
