  3. The Cheeses: Double the cheese, double the fun! I recommend using a combination of cojack and baby swiss, but cheddar, provolone, or munster would also be fantastic.
  4. The Veggies: Add some freshness with sliced roma tomatoes and crisp romaine lettuce.
  5. The Condiments: This is where you can personalize your sandwich. Go for classic mayo, a spicy mustard, or even a dollop of pesto.
  6. The Finishing Touch: A sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper adds the perfect finishing touch.

Do you put mayo on a turkey sandwich?

Of course, this is a sandwich, so everything I use is optional. I actually don’t eat mayonnaise, so I always leave that off, but can appreciate its value for others.

The best turkey sandwich

I believe quality of ingredients is what really makes a sandwich. Here, I use a whole wheat hoagie roll because it keeps its shape well and allows for excessive ingredient stacking. Regular sandwich bread could be used, but I can’t promise that the flavors would blend perfectly or that the bread wouldn’t collapse under the filling’s weight.

I also used deli turkey off the bone, but a smoked turkey breast would also be great. Warm or cold, toasted in a panini press or oven for a few minutes, this turkey sandwich tastes great.
