Smoked Turkey, Blue Cheese, and Red Onion Sandwiches

This sophisticated smoked turkey and blue cheese sandwich offers a delicious balance of bold flavours and textures. The combination of smoky poultry and sharp, creamy cheese provides a satisfying hit of protein, while the red onions are gently sautéed and deglazed with vinegar for a tangy, caramelised finish. It is an elevated take on a classic deli favourite that works beautifully for a weekend lunch or a substantial midweek meal.

Using a seeded wholemeal bread or crusty ciabatta adds a pleasant crunch that stands up well to the peppery rocket mayonnaise. This high-protein dish is both nutritious and filling, making it ideal for those seeking a wholesome yet indulgent lunch option. For the best results, serve the onions while they are still slightly warm to help the blue cheese soften into the turkey layers.
