Create your own authentic deli sandwich with my best turkey sandwich recipe. Packed with veggies and made in just five minutes, this turkey sandwich is great for when you are short on time or need to take your lunch on the go.
Place the turkey slices on one slice of bread, then add cheese to the other.
Season your turkey with additional salt and pepper, then layer the lettuce and tomato on top of the turkey. Close the sandwich.
You can either cut it in two (squares or triangles – however you like it) or wrap it up for work or on the go. If kept in the fridge and wrapped tightly, this sandwich can be consumed within 3-5 days.

Notes
The best cheese for turkey sandwich - The cheese for a turkey sandwich shouldn't have too overpowering a flavor but blend nicely with the turkey and the vegetables. I like using Swiss, but I also recommend mozzarella, provolone, gouda, Monterey Jack, cheddar, and Colby Jack cheese. If you prefer a more creamy texture, you can try Brie. Ideally, pick a cheese that's mild to mellow in flavor.The best bread for turkey sandwich - Whatever you choose, don't cut doorstop slices – thin slices mean the filling can be the star of the show. I love whole wheat bread, but you can use whatever you like - sourdough, rye, or traditional white. You can also use bagels, Challah, or potato bread.Check the blog post for more tips and variations (turkey melt sandwich, turkey club sandwich, Thanksgiving leftover turkey sandwich, and more).
