Does mayo go with turkey?

Yes, mayonnaise goes very well with turkey. There are all kinds of mayo versions out there , whether vegan or non vegan. It’s really a lifesaver if your turkey comes out dry.

Now we know that mayonnaise can be too much for some people , and that’s pretty much okay. There are plenty of other spreads out there which you can use for your beloved turkey sandwich. Or just in conjunction with turkey meat. I’m vegan so I’ve never tried that way. But you can try it out. It’s a pretty good mixture recommended by people out there. But personally I’ve never tried.

Some recipes are there on YouTube and Google. Also snapchat has so many channels and their own series of episodes which can help you out with some good quality recipes.

Tomatoes

Some thin slices of juicy tomato is really a great addition to your turkey.

Bread

Slices of brown bread , thicker denser bread can make a lot of difference.
