The Turkey Egg and Cheese Sandwich is a protein-rich, hearty breakfast or lunch option that combines savory turkey, a perfectly cooked egg, and melted cheese between slices of toasted bread or an English muffin. It’s fast, customizable, and deliciously satisfying for any time of day.

Ingredients

  • 2–3 slices turkey breast (deli or leftover roasted)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 slice cheese (cheddar, Swiss, provolone, or American)
  • 1 tsp butter or olive oil
  • 2 slices bread, 1 English muffin, or 1 bagel
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: spinach, tomato slices, avocado, or hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread: Lightly toast your bread, bagel, or English muffin to your preferred crispness.
  2. Cook the egg: Heat butter or olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack in the egg and cook to your liking—fried, over easy, or scrambled. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Warm the turkey: Add the turkey slices to the skillet for about 30–60 seconds to heat through.
  4. Melt the cheese: Place the cheese slice over the warm turkey and let it melt slightly.
  5. Assemble the sandwich: Layer the egg and cheesy turkey onto the toasted bread or muffin. Add optional toppings like spinach, tomato, or avocado.
  6. Serve: Press gently, slice if desired, and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Use freshly cracked pepper for extra flavor.
  • Let hot ingredients cool briefly before assembling to avoid sogginess.
  • Whole grain or sourdough bread adds extra nutrition and texture.
  • Perfect for using leftover holiday turkey.
  • Double the recipe for easy meal prep sandwiches.
