Notes

You can use bakery bread or sandwich bread or substitute a roll or wrap. You can also make these as sliders for an appetizer or game day eats.
Plain cream cheese, or a savory cream cheese like veggie or chive-and-onion, work well here.
Baby spring greens, spinach, arugula or your favorite lettuce will work for the greens on the sandwich.
Pile up as much turkey as you like! And slice it as thin or thick as you prefer.
