Ingredients

  • 1 Large Pickle
  • 1 tbsp Real Mayo
  • 2 slices Turkey Lunch Meat
  • 1 large Tomato slice
  • 1 large Slice Red Onion
  • 1 slice American Cheese
  • 1 large Leaf of Romaine Lettuce
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Slice the pickle in half, long ways.
    1 Large Pickle
  • Use a spoon to gently scoop out the middle seed portion of the pickle. Don’t scoop too deep as you want to leave some filling for support.
  • Use a paper towel to dab the pickles to dry them a bit.
  • Choose the pickle half that will be on the bottom. If it’s not sitting flat, flip it over so the outside of the pickle is facing up and use a knife to trim the bottom so it will sit flat.
  • Spread the mayo on the inside of the pickle where you scooped out the seeds.
    1 tbsp Real Mayo
  • Fold the lunch meat and place it in the hole, with a bit hanging over each side.
    2 slices Turkey Lunch Meat
  • Cut the tomato and onion slices in half and add those to the sandwich, starting with the tomato. It will start getting tall at this point, so be careful it doesn’t fall apart on you.

  • Cut the cheese slice in half and add it to the sandwich before adding the lettuce.
    1 slice American Cheese, 1 large Leaf of Romaine Lettuce
  • Have the toothpicks ready and add the top of the pickle, lining it up with the other pickle half. Slip a toothpick through the top of each end of the pickle pushing it all the way to the bottom of the sandwich, ending with a toothpick in the middle. This will keep it from falling apart.
  • Cut in half and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use any toppings you like. Try deli sliced ham, deli roast beef, or even chicken or tuna salad instead of the turkey and feel free to customize the veggies to your liking.
  • It makes things so much easier if you slice the pickle that will be on the bottom so that it sits flat.
  • The sandwich may feel a little slick when you stack it. Just go slow and it will work!
