9 Slices Wheat Bread

3 Slices Cooked Turkey

3 Slices Cooked Ham

3 Slices Cheddar (or American) Cheese

3 Slices Swiss Cheese

Batter:

1 Egg

1 – 1 1/4 C. Water

1/2 tsp. Salt

1 tsp. Sugar

1 1/2 C. Flour

1 T. Baking Powder

Vegetable Oil (for deep frying)

Toothpicks

 

Place turkey and Swiss cheese on one slice of bread. Cover with a second slice and layer the ham and cheddar on top. Top with the final slice and secure the triple decker sandwich in the corners with tooth picks. Place egg in mixing bowl, add water and beat together. Add salt, sugar, flour, and baking powder. Beat batter until smooth. Dip sandwich in batter and carefully cover all the sides and surface. Carefully place in hot oil and fry until golden. When sandwich has turned a warm gold color remove from hot oil and place on paper towel. Let cool for a few minutes before removing the tooth picks. Before serving slice into fourths and sprinkle with powder sugar. Serve with raspberry preserves, pickle garnish and your favorite side order of French fried potatoes.
