Today I am bringing you a super festive recipe in conjunction with Genius gluten-free. You’ll know I’ve been working with them over the past few months- firstly to present a guide for newly diagnosed coeliacs and then to present my very own take on gluten and dairy free chicken kiev
Today, I’m in the Christmas spirit and sharing my favourite thing to eat at this time of year: the ultimate turkey sandwich.
But it’s not just any turkey sandwich- oh no! This amazing feat is fairly low in fat, gluten free, dairy free, contains tummy friendly soluble fibre and-as Genius gluten-free bread is also enriched with multi-vitamins like vitamin B- is a great way to get some goodness into your diet when surrounded by mince pies all month!

I used Genius gluten-free white farmhouse instead of wholemeal- as it’s lower in fibre (not usually a good thing, but many of us with gut issues can struggle with wholemeal, higher fibre varieties of bread). For stuffing, there are two choices: fresh gluten-free stuffing using a dried packet mix. I used a fresh version of Sainsbury’s (annoyingly I can’t find a link!) and it was amazing-far superior to the packet mixes I’d tried in the past!
So, without further to do- here’s the recipe.

Nutrition Notes
- Turkey is a great source of protein and also contains tryptophan-an amino acid which can help with anxiety so there’s no reason not to pile your plate!
- Sweet potato is a great soothing source of soluble fibre.
- If you’re sensitive to insoluble fibre, you might want to avoid the spinach.
- Genius gluten-free bread is gluten and dairy free-but does contain egg.
- Check your cranberry sauces to make sure there are no unnecessary additives. I used Tideford organics which contains cranberries, unrefined cane sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and cloves.
I hope you enjoyed this very festive recipe-let me know what other festive gluten-free foods you enjoy making over Christmas below!

It looks gorgeous but I can’t eat untoasted sandwiches I just hate the squishy texture, yet if I would toast it I am that sure that I would love this. Thanks for sharing.
