This is the BEST ham and turkey sandwich you will ever eat! It is my husbands FAVORITE sammie! Plus, it’s filling, delicious and will definitely give you the energy you need to continue working hard and enjoying your day.
The BEST Turkey Sandwich
My last pregnancies consisted of ONE major craving… this sandwich. I just couldn’t get enough of their deliciousness and had one almost every single day for lunch. Even now that I am no longer pregnant, I can’t turn down a REALLY good ham and turkey sammie!
I change it up between using the Canyon Bakehouse wide heritage loaves bread or their gluten-free everything bagel. Both make fantastic sandwiches! Mine are always piled high with lots of delicious meat.
This sandwich is loaded with three of my favorite meats, peppermill turkey, ham and of course bacon. All are gluten-free and so flavorful!
You can also use leftover meat from the best gluten-free turkey. Be sure to set aside some meat and cheese for our homemade lunchables as well.
With three meats on this sandwich, I knew I needed to balance it with three cheeses. We chose Parmesan, cream cheese and pepperjack for just a touch of heat. For those of you who don’t like heat, don’t worry, it’s not that hot.
To balance the meat and cheeses with some freshness, I chose thinly sliced fresh cucumbers and delicate butter lettuce. Toasting the sandwich is definitely the key and I will say that my very picky husband said this was one of the best things I’ve ever made…yay!

Which gluten-free bread is best?
If you are going with store bought, Canyon Bakehouse is my favorite. It is easy to find and comes in an amazing variety of flavors from mountain white and honey whole grain to sweet Hawaiian!
If you are looking to bake up some fresh, I would highly recommend any of our breads as they all work great!
