The Ultimate Turkey Sandwich

Everyone loves a turkey sandwich, but it doesn't have to be the same every year. Add a few interesting extras and transform your leftovers into the supreme snack.

  • Christmas
Preparation time:
15 minutes
Total time:
15 minutes 15 minutes
Serves:
 2

Ingredients

  • 4 slices Waitrose Seeded Pan Gallego bread
  • 1 clove garlic, halved
  • 25g butter, softened
  • 1 large, ripe avocado
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • 150g cooked turkey, thinly sliced
  • 40g pack Cornhill Crispy Smoked Bacon
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
  • 1 large vine tomato, sliced
  • 4 leaves curly lettuce, rinsed

Method

  1. Rub the bread with the halved garlic clove, then butter the bread. Peel the avocado and remove the stone. Roughly mash half the avocado with the lime juice and thinly slice the other half.
  2. Spread the mashed avocado over two slices of bread, then season. Layer the sliced avocado, turkey and bacon on top and sprinkle with coriander.
  3. Finish with slices of tomato and lettuce leaves and season again. Top with the remaining bread and press down gently. Secure with cocktail sticks. Cut in half and serve.

Cook's tips

Sandwiches are best eaten straight away, but if you're making this for later, cover with clingfilm and chill, then add the tomato just before eating.

Variation

For a different flavour, use German Landbrot Light Rye Bread. Fill with turkey, roasted red onion, chopped fresh thyme and lamb's lettuce.

Or you could try Waitrose White Batch with Poppy Seeds. Fill with turkey, Waitrose Spiced Peach Chutney and a handful of rocket leaves.
