Gluten-free turkey sandwich 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.

If you've been recently diagnosed with Celiac disease, you may need to avoid cheese and other dairy products until your intestines heal. Talk with your doctor before including cheese in your diet.

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.
