ingredients & substitutions

Gluten-Free Bread

Gluten-free bread can vary in taste depending on the brand and ingredients used. Some gluten-free breads are dry and crumbly, while others are moist and have a more similar texture to regular bread. Its important to find a bread you like! For this recipe I used Schars Gluten Free Baguette.

If you cannot find a gluten free baguette and are gluten free you can substitute any gluten free bread you have for the gluten-free sandwich. If you are not gluten free, you can use any bread you want.

Turkey

Turkey is a lean protein that is low in fat and calories. It is also a good source of vitamin B6, which is important for the production of red blood cells. I like to get my turkey at the deli counter. I ask for whatever nitrate-free turkey they have available. Turkey is a good source of protein, niacin, phosphorus, and selenium.

If you do not have cooked turkey, you can substitute another lean protein, such as chicken, cold cut chicken or carved turkey for the gluten-free sandwich.

Bacon

Turkey bacon is a lower-fat alternative to regular bacon. It is also a good source of protein.

If you do not want to use turkey bacon, you can substitute another type of bacon, such as regular bacon or pancetta.

Lettuce

Lettuce is a good source of fiber, which can help to keep you feeling full. It is also a good source of vitamins A and C, which are important for eye health and immune function.

If you do not have lettuce, you can substitute another leafy green, such as spinach, kale, or arugula on this gluten-free sandwich.

Onion Garlic Spread

Onion garlic spread has a savory, garlicky flavor. It is a good source of flavor and can help to bring the sandwich together.

If you do not have onion garlic spread for this gluten-free sandwich, you can substitute another spread, such as mayonnaise, mustard, or hummus.

taste & texture

The gluten-free bread provides a soft and slightly chewy base for the sandwich. The cooked turkey is mild and slightly sweet, while the turkey bacon is smoky and salty. The lettuce adds a touch of freshness, and the onion garlic spread provides a savory flavor. The overall taste of the gluten-free sandwich is well-balanced and satisfying.

The texture of the gluten-free sandwich with turkey is also enjoyable. The bread is soft and slightly chewy, the turkey is tender, the turkey bacon is crispy, and the lettuce is crunchy. The onion garlic spread helps to bind the sandwich together and add moisture.

expert tips & tricks

• Use high-quality ingredients. The quality of the ingredients you use will make a big difference in the taste of the sandwich. Use fresh, high-quality turkey, turkey bacon, and lettuce.
• Toast the bread. Toasting the bread adds a nice flavor and texture to the gluten-free sandwich.
• Cook the turkey bacon until it is crispy. Crispy turkey bacon is essential for a good sandwich.
• Use a good spread. The spread you use can really make or break the sandwich. Use a spread that you enjoy and that complements the other flavors in the sandwich.
• Don’t overcrowd the sandwich. If you put too much on the sandwich, it will be difficult to eat.
• If you are meal prepping the gluten-free sandwich with turkey, I recommend assembling them without the lettuce. The lettuce will get soggy if it is stored in the refrigerator for too long. When you are ready to eat, simply add the lettuce to the sandwich.

how to serve & store

To serve, simply assemble the gluten-free sandwich and enjoy. You can also toast the bread before assembling the sandwich. Wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or foil. You can also store the sandwich in an airtight container. The sandwich can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you are ready to eat, simply unwrap the sandwich and enjoy.
