I usually bring a turkey sandwich to work but can't eat it dry. I don't use mayo anymore and can't stand the taste of mustard. Any suggestions what I can use that is healthy?

    I love guacamole on my turkey sandwich. You can buy the Wholly Guacamole 100 calorie packs. It is great.

    Hummus isn't too bad. Or, a laughing cow cheese wedge.

    Ken's Lite Northern Italian Dressing. 45 calories. Just use enough to make the bread not as dry. Also pickles are great on sandwiches. I also use light Miracle Whip. 20 calories for a Tbsp which is all you need. I hate dry bread as well.

    I use either humuus or a wedge of laughing cow cheese. A little lettuce helps too.

    Mix fat free sour cream with a tablespoon of dijon mustard and - if you're brave - a dot of horseradish. Best spread for a sandwich I've had which is fat free - and packed with flavor. The dijon mustard is light too so your sandwich won't be overpowered. Worst case, you can try Nayonnaise - not my first choice - but it's an option. It's a soy based mayonnaise you can usually find at Whole Foods.

    Guacamole is awesome! or even slices of avocado. Good fats and nice taste.

    Ditto it's surprisingly delicious! I use it for turkey burgers too.

    I have heard that the mayo/olive oil combo is good but i have never had it. Do they have any more flavors?

    Creamy salad dressing
    Favorite dip or spread
    Mashed avocado

    I don't know if you gave up mayo because of calories/fat, but one tablespoon of Hellaman's (or Best Foods if you are out west) light mayo is only 35 calories.

    Philadelphia light with garlic and herb or chilli or chives i use these instead of butter they give your sandwich a much more interesting taste

    I always use ranch dressing on my sammies. And whenever a recipe calls for mayo.

    Laughing Cow Light Swiss Cheese.

    I love the Laughing Cow on a sandwich as well. Very tasty with turkey!

    Good Hummus goes along way. My new favorite is Spinach Artichoke Hummus. I think it's 60 calories per OZ and I use about 2/3 of it on my Flat Out Pizza the other night and OMG it was yummy.
    Laughing Cow Lite Queso is also good.

    miracle whip light is good. I haven't totally cut out the 'bad' things for me - I just significantly reduced them. I can't sacrafice flavor - just can't do it. I bought calorie free mayo once and tossed out the whole jar (at $6/jar) it was SO GROSS. That day I decided I am going to stick with what I like - in moderation. I also pump up the flavor with onions - but I LOVE onions
