Equipment
Method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, water, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Heat the grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
- Slice the sandwich rolls in half and lightly toast them on the grill pan until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In the medium saucepan, combine the steamed cauliflower and broccoli with the sliced turkey. Pour half of the tahini lemon sauce over the mixture and stir to coat evenly.
- Heat over low-medium heat for 5-7 minutes until warmed through and vegetables are tender.
- Layer the turkey and vegetable mixture on the bottom half of each sandwich roll.
- Drizzle the remaining tahini lemon sauce over the top and add any optional toppings like fresh spinach or sliced cucumbers.
- Close the sandwich with the top half of the roll and let rest for 5 minutes before cutting in half for serving.
- Serve with a simple side salad and a spoon of yogurt.
