Notes
Choose the right bread: The bread you choose can make or break your sandwich. Use a bread that is sturdy enough to hold all the ingredients and doesn't overpower the flavors of the turkey and cucumber. Whole grain bread or sourdough are great options.
Use fresh ingredients: Choose fresh, crisp cucumbers and high-quality sliced turkey. This will ensure that your sandwich tastes great and has a satisfying texture.
Season the cucumbers: Don't forget to season your cucumbers with a pinch of salt and pepper. This will bring out their flavor and add some depth to the sandwich.
Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will give your sandwich some extra crunch and prevent it from getting soggy.
Customize to your liking: Feel free to add your favorite condiments or additional veggies, such as tomatoes or avocado, to make the sandwich your own.
Keep it fresh: If you're making this sandwich ahead of time, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to keep it fresh. You can also pack the cucumber slices separately to prevent them from making the bread soggy. Assemble the sandwich just before serving.
