A traditional club sandwich featuring a sweet and tangy caramelized onion relish instead of the usual avocado or apple salad for a deeper, more complex flavor.

Method

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add sliced onion
Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until golden brown (about 20-25 minutes)
Stir in apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper
Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens into a relish
Toast bread slices
Layer turkey, bacon, and cheese on two bread slices
Top with lettuce, cucumber, and carrots
Spread caramelized onion relish on remaining bread slices and assemble sandwiches
Before serving, check that the thickest part of the poultry reaches 74°C (165°F) with a food thermometer.
