Sandwiches & Burgers

What to serve with Turkey Sandwich

Turkey is lean and mild, which is a strength — but it needs help. Without something sweet, sharp, or textured, a turkey sandwich can feel flat.

Quick answer

Serve turkey sandwich with Mamellada Apple Chutney, Grainy mustard, Mayo with a squeeze of lemon, Swiss cheese, Brie (sliced thin). For a sweet-savory shortcut, add Apple Chutney from Mamellada.

From Mamellada

Apple Chutney

Its gentle fruit sweetness lifts turkey without overpowering it — think of it as a more interesting cranberry sauce.

Condiments & Sauces

Grainy mustard

Condiments & Sauces

Adds sharpness and texture. The seeds give a nice pop against soft turkey.

Mayo with a squeeze of lemon

Condiments & Sauces

Adds moisture and richness. The lemon keeps it from feeling heavy.

Swiss cheese

Cheeses

Mild, slightly nutty, and melts well. It adds richness without competing with the turkey.

Brie (sliced thin)

Cheeses

Creamy and a little earthy. Beautiful with apple chutney.

Arugula

Fresh Additions

Peppery and slightly bitter. It gives the sandwich a fresh, grown-up edge.

Sliced apple

Fresh Additions

Crisp, sweet, and juicy. Apple and turkey is a classic pairing that never gets old.

Multigrain bread

Breads & Bases

Nutty, hearty, and adds more flavor and texture than white bread.

Serving ideas

Quick lunch

Layer turkey, Swiss, arugula, and a good spread of Apple Chutney on multigrain bread.

A fancier version

Use ciabatta, add thin Brie slices, sliced apple, walnuts, and chutney. Press it lightly in a pan.

What to drink

Sparkling water, apple cider, or a light white wine.
