Jaffa Bakery

My husband used to work on this side of the loop and he would talk about this turkey sandwich place all of the time.  I just dismissed him as I really hate dry turkey and that is what you get at so many places.  So I started working near Jaffa and decided a turkey sandwich sounded good today.   They roast a whole turkey and shred the carved meat and store it in a rich broth.  I could not believe how good this sandwich was.  I got a mix of white and dark meat on french bread plain.  It was moist and rich and I will go there probably weekly going forward.  I can't vouch for anything else there, and I doubt I will be able to in the future because I can't imagine getting anything besides a turkey sandwich when I visit.

The Turkey Sandwiches used to be amazing - seems like lately old Tommy Turkey got hit by the recession.  Tell them you would like cheese on your sandwich, it's worth the laugh.  Fortunately, it still tastes good.

Maybe not the best falafel that I've had, but definitely one of the best turkey sandies in the loop!  For well under $10 you get one of the biggest turkey sandwiches you have ever eaten.  

My go-to is the turkey sandwich (half white/half dark) with mashed potatoes and gravy on the sandwich.  Top it off with a little lettuce, tomato, and white cheese, and you have one amazing feast.  

If you are looking for a more traditional med lunch, hit up Olive downtstairs or Taza on Franklin.  If you are after an amazing turkey sandwich, you won't be disappointed with the tucked away beauty that is Jaffa.
