New York’s Tastiest Turkey Sandwiches
Turkey doesn’t tend to get a whole lot of love beyond the Thanksgiving table except when it comes to sandwiches — and even those can be snooze-worthy affairs. Which is why, in the days leading up to the holiday, we thought we’d round up a few, awesome between-the-bread creations, that actually shine an ultra-flattering spotlight on the oft-maligned bird — from the Asian-inspired Pulled Turkey at Num Pang, to Parm’s Spicy Roast Turkey & Mozzarella to No. 7 Sub’s Turkey & Frito Combo…
No. 7 Sub
Tyler Kord’s wonky No. 7 Sub would never deign to serve anything so pedestrian as plain old tuna fish or ham and cheese. Which is why you’ll find tricked out turkey selections, such as The Frito Kid 2, which pairs the freshly roast & sliced poultry with black bean hummus, pickled jalapenos and yes — twisty, salty Fritos. Yum!
Read MoreParm
It’s hard to keep up with the force that is the Major Food Group as they roll out restaurant after restaurant, most recently opening Sadelle’s and Santina. While the media focuses on their shiny, new spots, we’re still digging on the very casual, Italian-American Parm with now famous pizza knots, eggplant parm platter and ice cream cakes. Lest we forget their uber popular Turkey Sandwich, made with honey-glazed turkey, spicy sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, and homemade mozzarella.

Court Street Grocers
In addition to brand new menu additions at their Manhattan spot, such as the Dirty Turkey (roasted turkey, chopped liver and chow-chow), Court Street Grocers has long demonstrated a surprising affinity for the other, other white meat. Look no further than their Turkey Reuben (slathered in sauerkraut and comeback sauce), the Turkey & Durkee (paved with sweet pickles and durkee sauce), and the Turkey Club; a triple decker assemblage of confit dark meat, Edward’s bacon and lettuce.

In addition to staples like Hoisin Meatballs and Peppercorn Catfish, this cluster of fast-casual Cambodian sandwich shops are offering a decidedly seasonal selection — the tender Pulled Turkey — anointed with jewel-like smatterings of tangy, pickled cranberries.
Read MoreCity Subs
Brooklyn has happily heralded the return of this beloved sammy shop, which closed its Park Slope doors for one exceedingly long year. Decked out with a selection of 29 composed sandwiches (although you’re more than welcome to construct your own), the menu has proved as impressive as ever, featuring the “Baltic Street” with peppercorn turkey and monterey jack, the “Degraw Street” with smoked turkey, smoked ham and smoked gouda, and the toasty “Fourth Avenue,” a choice of any turkey topped with bacon and melted swiss cheese.
Read MoreShopsin’s
Once your eyes adjust to the untamed jumble that is the inimitable Shopsin’s menu, you’ll find that turkey appears year round, in a number of funky guises — think a pressed Monte Cristo (turkey, ham, swiss and strawberry jam, on eggy french toast), the High School (a hot turkey sandwich ladled with gravy and sausage stuffing), and the Savannah; a self-described “mushroom gumbo turkey mountain.”
Read MoreMorgan’s
The Brooklyn-based Morgan’s has managed to stand out from New York’s estimable barbecue crowd by offering a mean, pit-smoked turkey, moist strips of which can be enjoyed as a sloppy sandwich, topped with sauce and crunchy coleslaw in a Martin’s potato roll.
Read MoreAngela’s Sandwich Shop
Angela’s has long been a saving grace for Midtown’s hungry office workers, specializing in affordable, over-stuffed sandwiches, and the Thanksgiving Dinner is one of our all-time favorites. It comes piled high with grilled fresh turkey breast, cheddar cheese and cornbread stuffing, then moistened with rich gravy and sweet, gelled cranberry sauce.
