We eat a lot of sandwiches around here.

Sandwiches are such easy and healthy lunch options that you really can’t go wrong.

When we needed to switch to a gluten-free diet, I had a hard time with lunches at first. I had great recipes for gluten-free dinners, but lunches were harder. It was difficult for me to come up with foods my kids would love that were also fast and nutritious. Often we’d have leftovers for lunch, but the kids didn’t like that very much.

We experimented with different breads and finally found some gluten-free bread we liked. Now for a new problem…

Ever get tired of eating the same thing?

I’m usually in a hurry when I shop, so I end up buying the same foods, but what can I do to take my sandwich from boring to fantastic without too much trouble?

Well today I succeeded in just that.

I had just bought some Foster Farms All Natural Sliced Turkey. Have you heard that Foster Farms now has all natural deli meats with lower sodium, no additives, hormones, nitrates or nitrites?

I thought about what would go great with turkey and suddenly was craving cranberries. I wanted something lighter than a Thanksgiving meal for a hot summer day but I needed a delicious recipe that wouldn’t take too long, since lunch was already running late.

Gourmet Turkey Sandwich

Don’t call me basic! No, this is a gourmet sandwich in taste and looks, but is simple and quick to make with just a few ingredients. And it’s a great lunch or dinner for kids!

  1. Grill some bread. I used gluten-free sandwich bread in a skillet with some butter or bacon grease.
  2. Heat a few slices of turkey lunchmeat in the skillet at the same time. Flip bread and meat over, drop grated mozzarella cheese onto the bread while hot, so it will begin to melt.
  3. Sprinkle a small handful of cranberries onto the melted cheese on one of the slices, this will help them stick and not fall out of your sandwich when you pick it up.
  4. Scoop the warmed meat onto the other slice of bread and top with fresh spinach.
  5. Press both pieces of bread together on a plate to form your extraordinary sandwich.
  6. Enjoy while warm.

Can you still eat sandwiches if you're on a gluten free diet? Of course! With gluten-free bread you can make tasty, quick gluten free lunches. Try this gourmet sandwich recipe that is so easy and makes for one delicious lunch idea.  All natural turkey and cranberry, like Thanksgiving dinner in a light meal. Take your sandwich from boring to amazing!

Just writing this is making my mouth water! Try different variations: add some sprouts, basil, tomato, vinaigrette, olives… whatever you like. Let the kids choose what they want in their sandwiches too.

In fact, if you come up with your own original sandwich recipe you can win some amazing prizes!

The Don’t Call Me Basic contest is looking for the most creative turkey sandwich creation.

    This looks so good! I like how you grill the bread and then add the sandwich filling…it’s a grilled sandwich…yet not. Anything with turkey and cranberry has my vote. Definitely trying this!

    This is going on my menu for lunch next week. I always struggle with how to jazz up our “same old, same old” lunches. Cranberry on this sandwich would really appeal to my boys. They eat cranberry sauce like it’s jello whenever we eat at my mom’s house–so she makes it for them almost every week.

    This sandwich looks great. I don’t buy as much deli meat as I used to. But when I do, it’s always nitrate free varieties.
