Turkey gourmet sandwich

Feel like I’m on a turkey sandwich train lately. I’m trying to lean down for the warmer weather, so unless something else really jumps out at me, I tend to go for the leaner options. For today’s lunch, I hit up Deli Fresh Lunch Bar on McEvoy St, Alexandria. I’ve been here a few times when I’m too lazy to make lunch while WFH—it’s always a solid, budget-friendly spot with plenty of fresh options.

This one might not look as fancy as some of the other turkey sandwiches I’ve had recently, but flavour-wise it actually punched the hardest. They were generous with the cranberry sauce, which gave a nice tangy sweetness, but the real star was the camembert—rich, creamy, and packed with flavour. The original combo came with avocado (like almost all of their “gourmet” sandwiches, strangely enough), but I swapped it out. Good call, I reckon.

Price was $9.50, plus an extra dollar for the baguette. To be fair, it’s not your classic crusty French baguette—more soft and bready, closer to a bread roll. Not the best bread, but it did the job.

For the price though, you really can’t complain. Fresh, tasty, and filling—definitely the kind of lunch you could have on the regular without breaking the bank.
