New Sandwich Ideas Needed!

We need some sandwich ideas to break the monotony of turkey and swiss. Anyone have anything interesting and easy? Different bread (homemade?) or homemade garlic mayo?
I could use a few new ideas in this area myself!

i order this sandwich at Savi in Inman Park–nice riff on the turkey classic.
The Carter: Smoked Turkey Breast, Smoked Gouda, Dried Cranberries, Pesto Aioli, Mixed Greens on Sour Dough.

Mrs. Books enjoys the Jason’s Deli JB’s Bagelini:
Turkey, provolone, guacamole, pico de gallo and a spicy aioli, on a bagel and pressed in a panini grill
Are these for kids? Or teens/adults with discriminating taste? I have made one zillion sandwiches for kids over the years and my husband, to his credit, has made another 2 zillion. My guidance on kid sandwiches is that you should go by their taste, not yours, otherwise you have 3 zillion sandwiches coming back from school and camp with one bite in them, if that. And we haven’t figured out composting yet. So things like raisin bread with peanut butter, mini-bagels with strawberry cream cheese, tortillas with nutella, are sent out of our house, uncontaminated by condiments, sauces, relishes, or garnishes. But somehow I’m thinking that Daydreamer was looking for classier suggestions….
My best idea in recent years: Skip the watery tomato and instead use a roasted and skinned red pepper on sandwiches. It’s just as sweet, but sits flatter and is less watery.=
Or little cherry tomatoes roasted with olive oil in a very low oven (200) until they’re shriveled and sweet. They can be frozen and thawed throughout the year.
Asian reuben – corned beef (or turkey), swiss, kimchi, and Sriracha mayo on rye. Unlike revenge, best served hot.
Sriracha mayo? Do you really have to specify that? Are there people out there who use mayo WITHOUT sriracha? Freaks!
One would think not, but apparently there’s an entire segment of the population that “doesn’t like spicy food.” I don’t trust ’em…
Wasabi mayo from Trader Joe’s works too. Maybe not with corned beef, but good on other sandwiches…
Tuna with wasabi mayo & cucumbers on a French roll = delishisisis!
Sriracha and mayo also make the best deviled eggs. A little pink but good.
Mrs. J_T thinks I’m disgusting because of this (OK, not just this) but sometimes I make meatloaf just so there’ll be leftovers for meatloaf sandwiches. On plain white bread, of course. Ketchup optional (not really, you’re a weirdo if you don’t add ketchup, but I’m trying to be nice here).
Meatloaf sandwiches rock! I prefer mine with Dukes, but to each his own.
Right on. This is good stuff.
And it needs to be HEINZ ketchup. I don’t think this is as widely known as it should be down here.
A favorite summer sandwich of mine is a basic mozzarella, basil and prosciutto on crusty baguette. Slice fresh, buffalo mozz, drizzle with a good olive oil. I seed, de-goop and lightly salt my tomatoes to reduce the moisture. Layer tomatoes and basil over the mozz, and then add a good, thinly sliced prosciutto on top. Add more olive oil to taste.
Long live the Fifth Earl’s Sir Bacon, the BLT with avocado added.
Alas.
Inspired by the ABCLT sandwich at the Corner Pub: sourdough bread (toasted optional), granny smith (or other crisp, tart) apple slices, bacon, cheddar (sharp, white), lettuce, tomato, mayo.
Basically a BLT with apple & cheddar. A sublime combination!
We also make this into a salad, with a light lemon vinaigrette, and toast the sourdough into croutons as another option.

Two cans Bumble Bee White Albacore, chopped fresh radish and celery. Add sweet and dill pickle relish, Hellmann’s mayonnaise and a splash of Trappey’s Bull sauce. Bread optional.
Pseudo-Cuban! Use your left over pork roast and layer on bread (I use the mini pitas from YDFM, split) that has been slathered with gobs of dijon mustard, with ham, cave aged gruyere (shredded for the best melt) and Wickles. Toast until cheese is barely melted.
Oooh, sandwiches (said like Joey from Friends) Staples in our house.
Grilled Vegetables
Cibatta or other crusty bread. Toast or not. Mash some avocado into the bread, little salt and pepper then layer on grilled (or roasted) vegetables of your choice. Red pepper, mushroom and red onion are great.
Turkey with Bacon and Roasted Garlic/Onion jam
Bread (any kind but I like a french roll or ciabatta again)
Turkey or chicken (deli slices or leftovers, roasted chicken, etc..)
Store bought Roasted Garlic/Onion jam (Stonewall kitchen brand)
Bacon
Mayo
Yum!
Chicken Apple Club
Chicken (deli or leftover roasted or baked chicken)
Bacon
Lettuce
Sliced granny smith apple
Mayo
Bread of your choice, Toasted or not.
What I’m making today: home-smoked turkey, avocado, roasted red pepper, raw onion or shallot on split mini pita. Debating whether to add chipotle in adobo to the garlic mayo. And what about cheese? Happen to have goat, a very mild Sweet Grass Dairy blue, and parmesan on hand. Maybe some cilantro, too?
Update: did add the chipotle in adobo to the garlic mayo, skipped the cheese, went with the shallot, forgot the cilantro idea and due to a miscommunication on the word “pita,” served on ciabatta rolls instead. Verdict: Yum! And extremely messy.
Used to frequent a shop that served basically thanksgiving in sandwich form: raisin bread slathered with cream cheese, turkey, and cranberry sauce (the kind from a can). It was an extremely popular choice (though not mine).
Turkey with hummus, sprouts and shaved carrots with a dash of hot sauce on wheat.
Grilled PB&J is awesome! You can’t believe how much better it tastes when grilled.
I’m really hungry now.
Here are some:
Mozzarella and tomato sandwich on baguette with pesto.
Cream cheese (doctored by adding herbs and chopped green onions) with cucumber and tomato slices
Scrambled Eggs with sautéed onions and sweet peppers
Vietnamese banh mi (I use a recipe from the Sunset Cookcook)
Faux sandwich: Egg salad wrapped in lettuce leaves instead of bread
Pickled beet and egg sandwich
Reese’s sandwich. Two peanut butter cups on one side of bread. Peanut butter on the other. Sounds weird but tastes great.
If my child sees that this is an option, you are in big trouble. (But I may have to test this myself anyway….)
I’m pretty sure I’ve eaten this same concoction after a few too many hours at Trackside, before some evil genius placed a late-night sandwich shop smack dab in the middle of my stumbling path home.
