How To Make a Good Turkey Sandwich

Question

Hey, I'm 15, male. I started strength-training around a month ago, and as part of my routine I am eating healthier.

For lunch, my turkey sandwich really doesn't taste good; I only eat it since it is healthy and has protein.

I make it with 2 pieces of wheat bread, a lot of salsalitta turkey slices, and mustard. Any healthy ideas to make it better?

Answer 1

Turkey, bread, mustard, a little mayo...

Answer 4

Use mayo instead of salsa and mustard....Use a whole wheat hard roll add some good lettuce and slices of tomato, avocado, and sprouts....and making turkey salad is also a good idea....cut up turkey, celery onions add mayo, salt and pepper mix it up, spread on roll and then add whatever toppings you like

Answer 5

add cheese

Answer 6

TURKEY SANDWICHES

8 slices whole wheat or rye bread

Reduced calorie salad dressing

1 med. onion, thinly sliced, red or white

4 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced

Lettuce leaves

12 oz. shaved turkey

Lightly spread bread with salad dressing. Using 1 teaspoon oil, saute onion and then mushrooms; cook until tender. Layer with turkey slices, onion and mushroom mixture, lettuce and top with remaining slices of bread.

Open face sandwiches can be made by layering turkey, onion and mushroom mixture and then topped by slice of Mozzarella cheese. Heat in toaster oven or broiler until cheese begins to melt and slightly browned.

Answer 7

The most important part of a sandwich is the bread.  Use a hard roll like a portugese roll.  What goes between the bread is up to you but your bread is most important.

Answer 8

try one or more of these:

-greens (romain, spinach, iceberg, mixed greens)

-dried cranberries or cranberry sauce (although they are sweet, nothing is terrible for you in moderation)

-cheese (cheddar or swiss would be my suggestion)

-cucumbers

-green peppers

-tomato

you could also try a chicken salad or a tuna salad sandwich (if you add grapes and walnuts you will get fresh fruit and omega-3)

whole grain bread is better for you as well...so you can check and see if the bread that you're using is "whole grain" or just "whole wheat"

Answer 9

Best turkey sandwich...

2 slice turkey

1 slice swiss cheese

2 pc bread (wheat or white)

1 leaf lettuce

sliced tomatoes

mayo/salad dressing

Optional:  cucumbers, red onion, pickles.  

I use cucumbers on mine when I have them.  

If you don't like mayo, you could spritz a little raspberry vinegerette on it.  or 1000 island dressing.  I have known people to put blue cheese or ranch dressing on them also.
