Description

This TikTok Viral Picklewich Sandwich is a fun, quick, and low-carb alternative to a traditional sandwich, using large pickle halves as the buns. Packed with turkey, cheese, fresh veggies, and mayo, it's perfect for a light snack or a creative lunch option that's ready in minutes.


Ingredients

Picklewich Components

  • 1 large pickle
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 2 slices turkey lunch meat
  • 1 large slice tomato
  • 1 large slice red onion
  • 1 slice American cheese
  • 1 large Romaine lettuce leaf


Instructions

  1. Slice the Pickle: Start by slicing your pickle in half lengthwise to create the top and bottom buns for your sandwich.
  2. Scoop out Seeds: Use a spoon to gently scoop out the seeded center of each pickle half. Be careful to leave some flesh intact to keep the sandwich sturdy.
  3. Dry the Pickles: Pat each pickle half dry with a paper towel to prevent sogginess and ensure the sandwich stays firm.
  4. Create a Flat Base: Choose a bottom half; if it doesn’t sit flat, flip it so the outside faces up and carefully slice a bit off the rounded side to create a stable base.
  5. Apply Mayo: Spread mayonnaise inside each hollowed-out pickle half, directly over the scooped area for added flavor and moisture.
  6. Layer the Turkey: Fold the turkey lunch meat and layer it into the groove of the bottom pickle half, allowing some to hang slightly over the edges for a deli-style appearance.
  7. Add Tomato and Onion: Halve your tomato and red onion slices, then carefully stack them on top of the turkey starting with tomato, as the sandwich will get tall.
  8. Add Cheese and Lettuce: Cut the cheese slice in half and layer it over the vegetables, followed by placing the Romaine lettuce leaf.
  9. Assemble the Sandwich: Line up the top pickle half with the bottom half and secure the entire sandwich with three toothpicks – one at each end and one in the center – to keep everything intact.
  10. Slice and Serve: Cut the sandwich in half for easier handling and enjoy your quick, delicious Picklewich!

Notes

  • Ensure to pat dry the pickle halves well to avoid a soggy sandwich.
  • Use toothpicks to secure the sandwich so it doesn’t fall apart while eating.
  • This sandwich is naturally low-carb and gluten-free.
  • You can swap turkey for other deli meats or make it vegetarian by omitting meat and adding avocado or hummus.
  • For extra flavor, add mustard or hot sauce along with the mayo.
