First, the good news: a traditional Christmas sandwich is not as unhealthy as you might think. Turkey is actually a great source of lean protein, which can help stave off hunger pangs. Plus, a festive sarnie is often also the highest in fibre, one of the nutrients we want to get more of. Instead, it is the extra sausage, bacon and sweet condiments that often appear within this seasonal delight that need to be watched. So, if you are looking for a healthier Christmas sandwich option, choose the ones without these extras in order to reduce the amount of saturated fat and sugars you are eating.
