Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by patting the lettuce and tomato slices dry. Cook the smoky bacon in a cast iron skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until crispy. Place the bacon on paper towels to drain excess grease.
  2. Spread butter on the outsides of thick-cut bread slices. Heat a large skillet over medium and toast bread for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Assemble the sandwich starting with a slice of toasted bread. Layer bacon, turkey, ham, cheese if desired, lettuce, and tomato. Repeat layers and top with another slice of bread.
  4. Cut the sandwich into quarters and serve immediately while warm.
