Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Around the Mediterranean, a ‘sandwich’ of cold meat and salad vegetables packed into a hollowed-out bread loaf was traditionally carried into the fields by workers, to provide a protein-packed carbohydrate-rich snack at lunchtime. This up-to-date version uses low-fat turkey, moistened with fragrant basil pesto.

These are an all-American favourite. As the name suggests, they have a messy appearance – a bolognese mixture served between wholemeal rolls – but it's a recipe all the family will love, and it can be prepared ahead. Lean minced turkey is used here as a lower-fat alternative to minced beef, but you could use either.

With pastrami (cured, smoked beef) and bagels, the inspiration for this thick, filling sandwich can only be New York City. But unlike the Big Apple's favourite snack, this version replaces the mayonnaise with herby, reduced-fat soft cheese and includes lean turkey. It is perfect for a tasty lunchtime bite.
