Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 4 slices leftover smoked turkey slices
  • 2 slices whole grain or brioche bread
  • 1/4 cup plant-based cheese, sliced or shredded
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach or kale leaves
  • 2 tomato slices
  • Avocado slices (optional, about 1/4 avocado)

Sauce Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons natural mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent-based cranberry spread (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Warm the smoked turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy but not burnt. Lightly toast the bread slices to add texture and prevent sogginess. Warm leftover smoked turkey slices gently or leave at room temperature if preferred.
  2. Assemble the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix natural mayonnaise with vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and a spoonful of natural gelling agent-based cranberry spread to create a tangy and sweet sauce that complements the sandwich flavors.
  3. Layer the Sandwich: Spread the cranberry-mayo sauce evenly on each toasted bread slice. On the bottom slice, place the fresh spinach or kale leaves as a base to keep things fresh. Layer the warmed smoked turkey slices and smoked turkey bacon on top, then add tomato slices and plant-based cheese. Add avocado slices if desired for extra creaminess.
  4. Final Touch and Serve: Place the remaining bread slice on top and press gently to hold the sandwich together. For a melty finish, briefly grill the assembled sandwich in a pan, pressing slightly until the plant-based cheese melts. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use fresh bread to ensure the sandwich holds together and tastes vibrant.
  • Do not over-saturate the bread with sauce to avoid sogginess.
  • Layer moist ingredients like tomato between drier layers to maintain texture.
  • Lightly toast the sandwich for a golden crunch and melted cheese effect.
  • Try adding a splash of apple cider vinegar to the sauce for added brightness.
