Most of the cost is toothpicks ($12.47) and sliced turkey breast ($3.04). With oil, spices and staples already at home, the shop drops to about $18.64. Prices are estimated for the amount used, at average US grocery prices (November 2026).

Steps

1. Arrange the 12 slices of toasted white bread on a clean work surface, and evenly spread the mayonnaise over one side of each slice.
2. Place a large skillet over medium heat on the stovetop. Add the bacon strips and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until deep golden brown and crisp, then transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
3. Season the beefsteak tomato slices evenly with the kosher salt and black pepper.
4. Assemble the bottom layer of each sandwich by placing 4 bread slices mayonnaise-side up, then dividing the sliced turkey breast and half the iceberg lettuce leaves evenly among them.
5. Set a second slice of toasted bread over each turkey layer, mayonnaise-side up. Top each with 2 bacon strips, 2 seasoned tomato slices, and the remaining lettuce leaves, then cap each sandwich with the final toast slice, mayonnaise-side down.
6. Insert four toothpicks firmly into each sandwich halfway between the edges and the center, cut diagonally into quarters with a sharp serrated knife, and serve immediately.
