    Turkey Sandwich Recipe

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    After a few posted recipes of sweets, I've got something on the healthier side for you today. This Turkey Sandwich Recipe is loaded with beloved vegetables of homegrown cucumbers and tomatoes which makes it taste absolutely incredible. Much better than the picture gives it justice. I hope it helps you get thinking about starting home gardening this year if you haven't been doing one already.

    This Turkey Sandwich Recipe is one of our favorite sandwiches. The sandwich is loaded with vegetables of homegrown cucumber and tomatoes which makes it taste absolutely desirable.

    Sure, it's very simple, but also perfect as a quick meal at home or on the go, sometimes. This is one of those sandwiches that never gets old at my house, even when there may be several other options. This one seems to be the most craved. Especially when homegrown produce is available. I'm sure it will become one of your favorites as well!

    You may be an expert sandwich maker, but to know how to get a certain taste that only comes from a specific combo of homegrown veggies can be a very powerful flavor secret in an otherwise simple recipe.

    Turkey Sandwich Ingredients

    This is the perfect way to use up those Thanksgiving turkey leftovers after the holidays, too. Also, you can grab roasted turkey, or deli turkey from the grocery store and make it at any other time.

    To make one turkey sandwich recipe you will need:

    • Bread - I love to use whole wheat bread for this recipe. You may also use couple of slices of Astrian or Sourdough bread. Both options are absolutely mouthwatering!
    • Cheese - some great options are provolone, gouda, Colby jack, Monterey jack, and cheddar. You don’t want the cheese to overpower the other sandwich ingredients.
    • Sliced turkye meat - deli meat, roasted turkey meat, or leftover Thanksgiving turkey meat.
    • Optional Extras - leaf lettuce, romain lettuce, tomato, cucumber, avocado, or bacon.

    Sandwich Spread and Seasoning Ingredients

    Adding homemade condiments, like this Easy 4 Ingredients Homemade Mayonnaise, may also take a regular boring sandwich to the next level.

    • Mayonaise or ranch
    • Salt
    • Black ground pepper

    FAQ's

    Can I add bacon to my turkey sandwich?

    • Absolutely! In my opinion, crispy bacon is essential to any sandwich. The easiest way to make crispy, uniform bacon is by baking it in the oven! Check out the full tutorial on How to Broil Bacon in the Oven!

    Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?

    • Of course! In fact, every piece of this sandwich can be prepared in advance and properly stored, and then just toss it all together! All the individually stored ingredients will keep well in the fridge for five.

    Is mustard good on a turkey sandwich?

    • I personally prefer my turkey sandwich without mustard, but if you're a mustard fan some great options are:
      • Stone ground mustard.
      • Dijon mustard.
      • Chipotle mustard.

    What are the cold cuts I can add to my turkey sandwich?

    • Adding some cold cuts can elevate your next sandwich. Here are some options:
      • Soppressata - Italian salami usually made of pork.
      • Bresaola - Italian salted beef seasoned with spices and salt, and dry cured for a few months.
      • Culatello - Italian salami made of pork.
      • Jamón Ibérico - best Spanish ham.

        Separate wet and dry ingredients into different containers. That way all you have to do is assemble a sandwich and enjoy!

      Great simple recipe! What is your favorite turkey to use when you make this sandwich? I sometimes like to use leftover turkey that I cooked for dinner to make sandwiches for lunch throughout the week.

        I like to use a good quality meat for sandwiches. My favorite is natural herb smoked turkey breast or roast beef from Costco. I also, like to use left over turkey or any left over meat for sandwiches. This is such a simple sandwich that you can use any kind of meat and it will taste great. Thank you for stopping by and commenting Amanda. 🙂
