Instructions

While loaf cools, make the sandwich dressing: In a small bowl, stir all ingredients until combined.
Prepare sandwich toppings by cooking and cooling bacon to your crispiness preference; rinsing and patting dry lettuce leaves; and slicing the tomato.
Slice loaf into 1/2-inch thick slices. Assemble sandwiches with sandwich dressing, then tomato, lettuce, bacon, turkey and Gouda cheese.

Notes

Yield – 4 sandwiches

Variations – Use a different bread, either homemade or store-bought; mix up the ingredients by swapping out the meat or cheese; or make it a panini!

Storage – I recommend storing all the components of the sandwich separately and assembling right before serving.
