- Toast the bread in a toaster, or under a broiler on both sides.
- Cut the lettuce leaves in half crosswise and form into 8 neat stacks.
- To make a double-decker club: On a clean work surface, arrange 3 bread slices in a row.
- Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise over 1 side of each bread slice.
- Place a lettuce stack on top of the first bread slice, top with 2 tomato slices, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place 2 slices bacon over the tomatoes (broken to fit neatly if necessary) and top with 1/8 of the turkey (without letting any hang over the sides).
- Season the turkey with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Repeat with the second bread slice.
- Carefully place the second layered bread slice on top of the first layered bread, turkey side-up.
- Cover with the third bread slice, mayonnaise side-down.
- Pin the sandwich's layers together by piercing them with 4 frill picks or cocktail swords through the top bread slice, in 4 places in a diamond-like pattern, all the way to the bottom bread slice.
- Repeat entire process with the remaining ingredients to form 3 more sandwiches.
- Using a serrated knife cut each sandwich, diagonally, into 4 triangular pieces (each piece should be secured in the center with a pick or sword).
- Serve with potato chips and pickles.
