Low-carb Smoked Turkey & Cucumber "Sandwiches" ... that use ... I'm sure you guessed it, ...
cucumber slices instead of bread!
Cut horizontally into fairly thin slices, cucumber slices work perfectly for making sandwiches without the carbs.
Then spread one cucumber slice with a little cream cheese or Laughing Cow spreadable cheese {that's what I use}.
You'll want to choose a cucumber that's pretty wide to give the most "space" for making your bread-less cucumber sandwich.
Sprinkle the cheese layer with a little fresh or dried dill, and pile on a couple slices of smoked turkey. Top the turkey with another slice of cucumber, and give it another little sprinkle of salt, pepper, and dill.
And you've built yourself one very tasty low-carb, bread-free sandwich.
But not only are these "sandwiches" quick, easy, and low-carb ... they're versatile, too.
Switch up the ingredients to suit your taste ... and enjoy having a few more options on your low carb lunch list!

- Top with another cucumber slice and sprinkle the top with additional salt, pepper, and dill.
