Instructions
- Transform crisp white bread slices into golden-brown platforms by toasting them to a light, crunchy perfection.

- Scatter crispy bacon fragments across the tomatoes, introducing a smoky, salty dimension.
- Distribute thin slices of sharp cheddar cheese to add a creamy, rich element.
- Crown the cheese with tender, thinly sliced roasted turkey for protein and substance.
- Carefully place the second toast slice mayo-side downward, gently pressing to secure the initial layers.
- Repeat the layering process with romaine, tomatoes, bacon, cheese, and turkey for a robust middle section.
- Complete the architectural masterpiece by positioning the final toast slice mayo-side down.

Notes
- Perfectly toast bread by watching it closely and removing when golden brown to prevent burning.
- Layer ingredients strategically with mayo as a “glue” to help ingredients stick and enhance flavor cohesion.
- Consider using whole wheat or sourdough bread for added nutrition and deeper taste profile.
