    Turkey Club Salad in a Jar

    All the flavors of a Turkey Ranch Club layered into a delicious low-carb mason jar salad!

    Turkey Ranch Club Mason Jar Salad

    It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of turkey clubs. I’m pretty sure turkey clubs are known nationally (internationally? ) but just in case you’re “like what are these turkey clubs Tammy’s always drooling over”, let me enlighten you. Basically, it’s a BLT (bacon, lettuce, and tomato) sandwich with sliced turkey. Sorry if you were expecting more. Ha! I’m a simple girl.

    In my second year of blogging (I’m going on my 6th year) I shared a Turkey Ranch Club Wrap recipe. Back then I was just starting to find my way around the kitchen so a wrap recipe was kind of a big deal to me even though it’s beyond simple.

    Since then, that recipe has been the most popular recipe on my blog. No kidding. It’s been shared on Pinterest over 500,000 times. It makes me feel good to be in such good company with fellow turkey club lovers.

    Other popular recipes on my blog include mason jar salads. Anyway, I haven’t shared a new mason jar salad in a long time and I was thinking about different salad ideas to make for lunch this week. Guess what popped into my head? Yep, a turkey club. Yeeeesss! Why didn’t I think to make a turkey club mason jar salad recipe before? It seems so obvious.

    Okay let’s talk about this recipe. I kept this recipe simple simple simple – just like the wrap. However, you can add more to salad layers if you wish. I think chickpeas would taste great. Onions would add a nice touch too.

    I recommend cooking the bacon until it’s really crispy. If you can pan fry it then do that. I’m no good at pan-frying bacon. Seriously, I almost lost an eye today making this. After the first couple pieces, I cooked the rest in the oven. After the bacon is cooked lay it on a paper towel to soak off all the grease. After it cools completely crumble into pieces.

    For the dressing I use Wegmans ranch yogurt dressing. There are other brands if you don’t have a Wegmans near you. Bolthouse Farms is a good one to try.

    I used shredded cheddar for this mason jar salad. If you prefer chunks then I recommend buying cheese sticks and cutting one up per jar. This keeps portions under control.

    The layers are simple. Start with the dressing next add tomatoes, turkey, shredded cheddar, bacon, and end with the romaine.

    This is a great way to get in a turkey club fix without all the carbs from bread.

      Wraps are awesome for kid lunches too (especially for teens.) My daughter isn’t a sandwich fan, but loves wraps. I can put spinach and other veggies on them, and she eats them right up. I make them very much like a meaty salad and wrap them. She isn’t a huge salad fan either. But, wraps work for her. Making lunch for her is a great pleasure for me. But, wraps are easy for kids to make too. I wish my daughter would eat mason jar salads. She loves homemade Ceasar, but they get soggy in her lunch. Mason jars would be great for chicken ceasar.

      I made this for my lunch last week, but had a problem with the dressing. When I tried to shake it up, the dressing was so thick it stuck to the bottom and the cherry tomatoes stuck in the dressing. Do you have any suggestions? Otherwise, it was really good.

        With mason jar salads, it’s good to pour them into a bowl and scrape the dressing from the bottom with a spoon. Then, toss it in the bowl. You could also make the dressing a bit thinner with milk or buttermilk when you make the bigger batch of dressing.

        You can use whatever dressing is your favorite. Italian would taste good.

        You can get a good non-dairy milk and/or sour cream and use those to make the dressing. I make my ranch with some Greek yogurt to give it fewer calories and a nice protein boost. There are many yogurts out there that are non-dairy though. I would also try a nice balsamic or raspberry vinaigrette with this.
