Here are a few tips and recipes to give your turkey sandwich a gluten-free makeover.
Tips for tasty gluten-free turkey sandwich recipes
Visit the deli aisle
Many supermarket delis offer a variety of sliced turkey, including sun-dried tomato and cracked black pepper. Ask to see the labels for the turkey to make sure the products are gluten-free. If you are concerned about cross-contamination with other gluten-containing products, opt for the packaged sliced turkey in the deli aisle. Some brands will have “gluten-free” or “allergy-free” on the label.
Get adventurous with gluten-free bread
If you’re bored with your current gluten-free bread, swap it out for a gluten-free bread you’ve never tried or stop by your local bakery for a freshly baked gluten-free loaf. Try gluten-free sourdough, gluten-free raisin bread, seeded gluten-free bread, gluten-free focaccia and gluten-free rolls.
Check out the cheeses
There is no excuse for boring gluten-free turkey sandwiches with the delectable array of cheeses available at the grocery store. Havarti dill, pepper jack, Manchego, Swiss and provolone are a few of the many cheese choices you can layer in your sandwich. Try a new cheese every week. Though cheese is inherently gluten-free, always read labels before purchase.

Have fun with flavorful sandwich fillings
A slice of turkey between two slices of bread is boring, but a gluten-free turkey sandwich boasting flavorful fillings such as caramelized onions, apple slices, wasabi mayo or fresh herbs is a gluten-free meal to get excited about. Think beyond plain mayonnaise, mustard and a leaf of lettuce and go with fillings that are bold in flavor. As a bonus, layering your sandwich with vegetables, leafy greens or fresh fruit will give your sandwich a tasty nutritious boost.
