The Turkey vs. Bacon Sandwich

Sandwiches aren't exactly a new concept. Meat, cheese, and bread aren't exactly complex. But that’s exactly the point. After all, our philosophy has always been that when you start with the basics, you don’t need much else. Just seven simple ingredients for one exquisite sandwich.

Our take on a classic turkey sandwich has undoubtedly become one of our bestsellers, rapidly rising to the rank of fan favorite. 

As with any sandwich, we start with the bread. In this case, we use Zingerman’s Sesame Semolina— delivered fresh every morning. Semolina is the flour used to make pasta, and gives the bread a rich, buttery flavor. The sesame seeds on the crust toast up perfectly. 

(Need it gluten free? No problem: our kitchen can make it happen!)

The Turkey vs. Bacon

The rivaling stars of the sandwich are, unsurprisingly, turkey and bacon. But these two headliners don’t compete so much as they complement each other. Roasted turkey breast from Fischer Farms keeps things clean and savory, while thick-cut bacon from The Cut does what bacon does best—adding smoke, salt, and crunch. 

The supporting cast is no less important. Ripe red tomatoes add a layer of crisp to accompany the bacon’s crunch. Avocado works quietly here, softening edges and adding just enough richness to keep the sandwich balanced. Organic Muenster cheese brings it all together, and Sir Kensington mayo brings a smooth and subtle finish. 

 Assembled to order and toasted up on our panini press, there’s a reason this sandwich has become a staple. Whether you need a quick lunch on the go or a platter of sandwiches for an event, the Turkey vs. Bacon is a flavorful, filling classic.

We may never know who emerges victorious from the Turkey vs. Bacon rivalry — either way, you’re the real winner here.
