Turkey and Cheddar Arepa Sandwich — Easy Gluten-Free Lunchbox Idea
Deli turkey and sharp cheddar between two warm arepas — the classic lunchbox sandwich, naturally gluten-free. Makes the night before and packs perfectly for school.
Ingredients
- 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas
- 4 slices deli turkey
- 2 slices sharp cheddar
- 1 tsp mustard or mayo (your child's preference)
- 2 romaine or butter lettuce leaves
How to Make It
- Toast both arepas until warm and golden.
- Spread mustard or mayo on one side of each arepa.
- Layer turkey and cheddar on one arepa, then add a lettuce leaf.
- Top with the second arepa to form a sandwich.
- Wrap in parchment paper or press in a container — ready to pack.
Why It Works
The arepa holds its shape better than bread, so this sandwich actually makes it to lunchtime without getting soggy. Turkey and cheddar is a combination kids know and love — and parents love that it is naturally gluten-free, no special substitutions needed.
