- Layer turkey pastrami, Swiss cheese, and pickles between two slices of bread.

Notes
Customize your sandwich with spicy jalapeños, chipotle mayo, or even a fried egg for breakfast. Wrap tightly in parchment if packing ahead. For a healthier twist, use whole grain bread and fresh veggies like avocado or sprouts.
