Recipe byThe ZestyPlate Kitchen
A fresh Vietnamese-style baguette layered with pate, sliced turkey, quick-pickled carrot and cabbage, chilli mayo and mint.
This turkey banh mi takes the Vietnamese sandwich and gives leftover turkey a proper job: a crisp baguette loaded with pate, sliced turkey, quick-pickled veg and a handful of herbs. The pickle is what makes it sing, cutting through the richer fillings. Crunchy, creamy, savoury and sharp all at once, it is far more than the sum of its parts.

Preparation
- For the pickled slaw, tip the carrots and cabbage into a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix the ginger, rice vinegar, sugar and a few pinches of salt, pour it over the vegetables and toss. Leave to sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Split the baguettes lengthways and spread the pate over the bottom half. Pile on the pickled slaw, cucumber and turkey. Stir the mayonnaise with the chopped chilli and spoon it over. Scatter with mint leaves and sliced chilli, close the sandwich and serve.
Tips from the ZestyPlate Kitchen
- Give the carrot and cabbage at least 15 minutes in the pickle so they take on a proper tang.
- Reach for a crusty baguette with a crisp shell; a soft roll collapses under the fillings.
- Offset the rich pate and mayo with a generous amount of pickle and fresh herbs.
- Build it just before you eat so the bread does not go soft.
Frequently Asked Questions
A Vietnamese sandwich on a light, crisp baguette, stacked with savoury fillings, pickled veg, herbs and chilli. It grew out of French and Vietnamese cooking coming together.
That is exactly what it is built for. Leftover turkey or chicken, sliced cold, works a treat.
Yes. Replace the turkey and pate with tofu, a mushroom pate, or just extra pickled veg and some hummus.
