A Healthy Turkey Sandwich They’ll Gobble Down

Instead of: Subway 6-inch turkey sub, bag of potato chips, and sugar cookie (565 calories, 25 g fat)

Try: Applegate Farms’ organic roasted turkey breast on a whole wheat roll with mustard or reduced-fat mayo, shredded lettuce, and sliced tomato, Baked! Lays potato chips, and a mini box of raisins (310 calories, 4 g fat)

As far as fast food goes, Subway isn’t a terrible option—especially if you steer clear of foot-long subs doused in oil. However, you can make this meal even healthier by fixing your own sandwich with Applegate Farms sliced roast turkey. Applegate Farms gets high marks from Neville because its turkey is minimally processed, so you’re not getting tons of added sodium or MSG. Baked chips will save you calories over the deep-fried kind, and if you lose the cookie for a box of raisins, you’ll sneak a serving of fruit into your child’s meal.
