Grilled Turkey, Bacon, Radicchio, and Blue Cheese Sandwiches

This grilled turkey, bacon and blue cheese sandwich is a sophisticated take on a classic toasted club. By combining savoury sliced turkey with salty applewood-smoked bacon and a creamy blue cheese spread, it creates a balanced flavour profile that is far superior to a standard lunch. The addition of radicchio provides a slightly bitter crunch that cuts through the richness of the cheese, while the country-style bread toasts to a perfect golden crisp in the frying pan.

As a high-protein meal, this sandwich is both satisfying and energising, making it an excellent choice for a substantial midday meal or a quick evening supper. Using a heavy lid to press the bread while it toasts ensures even browning and helps to melt the cheese purée into the turkey and bacon. Serve it warm with a simple green salad for a complete and nutritious meal.
