If you happen to have a ham at home, and we’re talking about a cured or brined joint, then you’ve got the foundation for a phenomenal hot ham salad sandwich. It’s a meatier spin on the tuna melt, loaded with savory flavors such as egg, but with crunch and texture with onions and celery. Just a few minutes in a hot oven wakes up the aromas and melts the mayonnaise.
You’ll be most likely to come across this recipe for ham salad sandwiches over the holiday season, but it’s also a wonderful, warm surprise to bring out at a tailgate or outdoor gathering. For anyone who’s forgotten how indulgent ham can be when it’s not jiggling from a can or sliced and shimmering from a packet, this sandwich will bring you right back to peak pork.
Ingredients for Ham Salad Sandwiches
Diana Chistruga for Taste of Home
Ham: You want to cube fully cooked ham that has been brined, as this will be packed with flavor and stay moist.
Sweet pickles: These give a wonderful crunch, sourness and acidity, as well as moisture.
Eggs: Finely chop hard-boiled eggs, using an egg slicer if you want to save time.
Celery: Finely chopped celery adds crunch to the sandwich with a light saltiness too.
Sweet onion: This brightens each bite with a sweet, crunchy texture. Chop the onion nice and fine so that it’s there but not everywhere, since not everyone loves onion.
Mayonnaise: Mayo brings some much-needed creaminess to the sandwich as well as a tangy flavor.
Onion rolls: These are soft and doughy and won’t get soggy, unlike regular bread or buns which aren’t up to the role of being the roll.

If you thought turkey was only for Thanksgiving, think again. This recipe for shredded turkey sandwiches transforms boneless turkey breast into a savory sandwich filling for lunches, dinners or tailgate parties. Toss beer, dried onion soup mix, butter and meat into a slow cooker, let it go for a few hours and then shred the meat. You’ll have a sandwich filling that’s almost like a French dip, Italian beef or pulled chicken but with its own delicious flavor profile. Serve shredded turkey with sturdy rolls so they don’t disintegrate under the juices—and you’ll want those juices!
Ingredients for Shredded Turkey Sandwiches
Turkey breast: Look for boneless, skinless turkey breast portions in the meat department. See below for options to use cooked turkey instead!
Beer: Either regular or nonalcoholic beer works as a braising liquid in the slow cooker. When cooking with beer, lagers and ales are good choices. Anything too hoppy could render the sauce too bitter.
Onion soup mix: Make your own onion soup mix or opt for a reliable store-bought brand.
Butter: Added to the slow cooker with the other ingredients, butter adds richness and flavor to the sauce for these shredded turkey sandwiches.
French rolls: These small rolls have a delectably chewy crust. Other types that work with this recipe are slider buns, pretzel buns or kaiser rolls.

Chickpea salad is an excellent answer to what to put on a plant-based sandwich so it doesn’t just feel like a piece of bread and garnishes. It is not chickpea salad, as in lettuce with chickpeas on top, but chickpea salad, like chicken salad or egg salad.
Smashed, canned chickpeas are a pretty convincing stand-in for canned tuna or chicken, especially once sauced with a tangy, herby dressing. You can make the salad mixture ahead of time and spoon it onto lunchtime sandwiches with any toppings you like. It’s sure to be a hero on the roster of vegan lunch ideas, especially when the weather is warm and you’re looking for something cool and easy.
Chickpea Salad Sandwich Ingredients
Jena Carlin for Taste of Home
Chickpeas: Drain a can of chickpeas and save the liquid to make vegan mayonnaise. Smashed with a fork, chickpeas make up the bulk of this plant-based salad and are a great source of protein and fiber.
Onion and celery: Finely chopped aromatic vegetables add crunch and freshness to the salad.
Vegan mayonnaise: Just as traditional mayo binds classic deli salads, vegan mayo binds this one. Store-bought is excellent, or you can make your own using aquafaba (the liquid in the can of chickpeas).
Mustard and red wine vinegar: A dash each of mustard and red wine vinegar gives this chickpea salad a welcome tanginess. We recommend honey mustard or Dijon, but opt for the latter if you make this salad for vegans, as honey is not considered vegan.
Fresh dill: A confetti-like handful of chopped fresh dill fills chickpea salad dressing with cheerful green flecks and an incomparably fresh flavor. Have a lot left over? Check out these fresh dill recipes to use up the rest of the bunch!
Salt, pepper and paprika: Chickpeas drink up seasoning, so these spices that flavor the chickpea salad are essential.
Multigrain bread: We like chickpea salad sandwiches on seeded sandwich bread, but use whatever bread you like.
Toppings: Because chickpea salad is soft and creamy, a few additional sandwich elements with some crunch are a great foil. Start with romaine lettuce leaves, tomato slices, dill pickle slices and sweet red pepper rings.
