Take Healthy Sandwiches to New Heights
Healthy sandwiches are increasing in popularity—there were 3.5 million light sandwiches sold in 2012, and that number is expected to increase by 7% during the next ten years.
The turkey sandwich can be a very appealing healthy menu option. Turkey clubs make up 35% of all light sandwiches purchased. According to Technomic, diners say they prefer skinless, all-white meat turkey and flavors such as honey-cured, garlic and Cajun.
