This turkey sandwich recipe tastes like a Thanksgiving dinner teaser in a cool salad formula that snuggles nicely onto our Multigrain Sandwich Bread. Perfect for a late summer picnic! For this recipe, using a whole roasted turkey breast is imperative! Don’t use sliced deli turkey. If you’re not going to roast a breast yourself, ALDI carries a flavorful, herb-marinated roasted whole turkey breast that works beautifully here. Also, we use an artisan-crafted herbal salt blend from Foraged and Sown, a local, first-generation, woman-owned urban farm here in Columbus,Ohio. It’s called “Soil, Sun and Sea” and is my favorite flavoring agent in my spice cupboard. It’s perfectly balanced with organic sea salt, garlic, white pepper, savory, thyme, marjoram and calendula flower to create depth of flavor in everything we use it on. We believe it makes this salad spectacular.
