Ingredients:

  • 8 oz deli turkey breast, thick-cut and cubed
  • 6 slices cooked crispy bacon, halved
  • 1 cup Romaine lettuce, cut into 1-inch squares
  • 1 medium Roma tomato, seeded and cubed
  • 4 slices sourdough or whole grain bread, toasted and cubed
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • pinch black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Toast the bread slices until golden brown and firm. According to techniques on [Serious Eats](https://www.seriouseats.com), toasting creates a moisture barrier that is essential for sandwiches.
  2. Cube the toasted bread, thick cut turkey breast, and seeded tomato into uniform 1 inch (2.5cm) pieces.
  3. Cut the Romaine lettuce into matching 1 inch squares.
  4. Ensure your bacon is fully cooled on a paper towel until it's completely rigid before halving the slices.
  5. Thread the ingredients onto the bamboo skewers in this specific order: Bread Cube, Lettuce Square, Turkey Cube, Tomato Cube, folded Bacon Piece, and a final Bread Cube cap.
  6. Pour the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and garlic powder into a small bowl.
  7. Whisk the mixture until the texture is velvety and smooth.
  8. Season with a pinch of black pepper and stir once more.
  9. Lightly brush the bread cubes with the sauce using a pastry brush, or simply place the sauce in a separate container for dipping.
