Turkey Sando bagel sandwich

Feels like it’s been forever since I had a proper bagel sandwich (lately I’ve mostly just been grabbing plain or flavoured bagels). I happen to have a work event in Surry Hills today, so I snuck out for a quick lunch and made my way to Brooklyn Boy Bagels.

I went with the turkey sando to keep things on the lighter side. The onion bagel was great—chewy, toasted so it had a nice exterior crunch, and the charred onion gave off a great aroma. Part of it was a little burnt, but nothing too bad. What I really liked was that the bagel wasn’t overly dense, so it didn’t feel heavy at all, which sometimes is my issue with bagel sandwiches.

The turkey was lean and tender, with some freshness coming from the rocket and tomato. The melted Swiss cheese gave a bit of creaminess, but I wasn’t totally sold on the gravy + cranberry combo. I think it would’ve been better if they just went heavier with one instead of doing both. Personally, I’d go all in on the cranberry. Still, it was enjoyable overall—a solid bagel sandwich fix.
