What to Put on a Turkey Sandwich

Bread: Choose a sturdy bread like a nice grain bread, ciabatta, or even rye or sourdough. Want something lighter? Wrap the ingredients in romaine lettuce!

Turkey: Use sliced deli turkey or leftover sliced turkey breast. Add other deli meats like ham, chicken, or cotto salami for variety.

Cheese: Choose your cheese, great options include cheddar, Colby Jack, Monterey Jack, or Gouda. Mix and match for flavor.

Vegetables: Add crunch with lettuce, tomatoes, or cucumbers. For creaminess, try sliced avocado.

Condiments: Mix mayo with pesto for aioli, or use chipotle for a kick. Honey mustard adds a sweet tang.
