    Turkey Cranberry Sandwiches: Healthy with Holiday Leftovers

    2
    By Alisa Fleming on November 28, 2013 Dairy-Free Recipes, Sandwiches

    Truth be told, I’ve never been a fan of traditional Thanksgiving dinner. I adore potatoes in every form, except for mashed. Gravy, especially with pan drippings, is a sauce that I’m happy to live without. Pie crust is usually boring and bland to my taste buds – no matter how flaky. I prefer chicken to freshly cooked turkey. And those overly sweetened sweet potatoes – why would you destroy such an amazing vegetable? I know that my opinions in this arena aren’t popular, BUT, I have to admit that I love the leftovers. Chilled stuffing and turkey are an amazing luxury, and just a few years ago I developed an admiration for cold turkey cranberry sandwiches.

    Many people slather those turkey cranberry sandwiches with soft cheese or mayonnaise (the latter I admit is quite delicious), but a healthier option is hummus. An “original” or “classic” flavor melds nicely with the cranberry sauce and offers a more substantial, creamy layer that contrasts the crunch of lettuce and sliced onion.

    Special Diet Notes & Options: Turkey Cranberry Sandwiches

    By ingredients, this recipe can be dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, gluten-free, peanut-free, tree nut-free, and soy-free. Just use caution when selecting your hummus. Some flavors contain dairy and/or nuts, and many varieties are made with soybean oil. For gluten-free turkey cranberry sandwiches, simply toast up slices of your favorite gluten-free bread. I’ve included my recommendations for dairy-free bread varieties (including a gluten-free option) in the recipe.
