The Thai Turkey Bacon Stack with Green Curry Mayo isn’t just a sandwich; it’s a culinary journey, a vibrant explosion of flavors perfect for elevating your lunch or dinner!
Unlocking the Superpowers of a Perfect Sandwich
There’s something inherently magical about a well-crafted sandwich, isn’t there? It’s more than just bread and fillings; it’s a portable package of comfort, energy, and satisfaction. As a child, I vividly recall the anticipation of opening my brown paper lunch sack, hoping for that perfect combination of flavors. My mom, ever the practical provider, always insisted that a sandwich packed with good deli meats was the secret to making me stronger. And she was right, in a way. The right sandwich fuels you, body and soul.
While I might have secretly longed for a simple peanut butter and jelly, her insistence on a deli meat-filled creation now makes perfect sense. There’s a certain power in a hearty, flavorful sandwich – a power to sustain you through a busy day, to bring a smile to your face, and to make any meal feel special. This isn’t just a coincidence; it’s the fundamental truth behind a truly great sandwich experience.

Thai Turkey Bacon Stack with Green Curry Mayo
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 8 slices Smithfield bacon
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Thai Green Curry Paste
- 1/3 cup microgreens
- 1 small cucumber, julienned
- 1/2 cup julienned carrot
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 3 tbsp crushed salted peanuts
- 1 1/2 tbsp lime juice
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 lbs Prime Fresh Turkey Deli, divided
- 8 slices sourdough, toasted
Directions:
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Place 8 slices of Smithfield bacon on a baking sheet. Cook the bacon in the oven for approximately 12 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and transfer it to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess grease. Set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Thai green curry paste. Stir until thoroughly blended and a smooth, vibrant green curry mayo is formed. Set this aside. In a separate small bowl, gently toss together the microgreens, julienned cucumber, julienned carrot, fresh cilantro leaves, thinly sliced red onion, crushed salted peanuts, and lime juice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all the fresh ingredients. Set this vegetable mixture aside.
- To assemble each magnificent sandwich, take two slices of the toasted sourdough bread. Spread a generous amount of the prepared green curry mayonnaise evenly on the inside of each slice. On one of the sourdough slices, layer approximately 1/2 pound of the delicious Prime Fresh Turkey Deli. Follow this with two slices of the crispy Smithfield bacon. Next, artfully arrange a portion of the seasoned vegetable mixture over the bacon. Finally, carefully place the remaining sourdough slice on top, curry-mayo side down, to complete your sandwich. Repeat this process until all four sandwiches have been expertly assembled and are ready to be devoured.
