This Roasted Pepper Turkey Sandwich is made with turkey, lots of cheese, sweet red peppers and crunchy ciabatta bread. Making sandwiches in the air fryer is going to become your new FAVORITE thing!

When I’m asked what my favorite food is I instantly say, ‘Sandwiches.’ I definitely live by my personal heroine’s wisdom on what makes the sandwich so great.
“Can I share with you my worldview? All of humankind has one thing in common: the sandwich. I believe that all anyone really wants in this life is to sit in peace and eat a sandwich.” – Liz Lemon
So many combinations of flavors from the meat and bread, to what vegetables and types of cheese to add and what sauce to slather on it.
My favorite though has to be one that is warm and has a nice and crunchy bread. So guess what I do to get that nice and toasty bread? Tip: I use my air fryer to make sandwiches!

What movie pairs well with a turkey sandwich and craft beer pairing?
For tonight’s Mitten Movie Night we are watching Bohemian Rhapsody. I know I’m a little late to the party but honestly, I was having a hard time wrapping my head around Sacha Baron Cohen NOT being in it. Did you know he was originally slated to play the lead?
What beer pairs well with turkey sandwiches made in the air fryer?
The beer: Blonde Ale from Green Flash Brewing
Blonde ales are by far my favorite style of beer. Slight citrus and the sweetness of honey this is a beer that pairs well with pretty much any sandwich craving I’m having.

I love red peppers on a sandwich. They add so much flavour.
I agree with you Dannii!
I love that this recipe is spicy and the use of Turkey in a sandwich is my kind of food! YUM!
Great Shanika! Thank you so much.
I love that you gave me something wonderful to pair this delish looking sandwich with and bonus points for using an air fryer! I got one a few years back as a gift and that poor air fryer hasn’t had a break yet.
I know Heidy, the air fryer is easily one of the best purchases I’ve gotten!
This is one awesome looking sandwich! I don’t have an airfryer (yet) though – are they worth investing in?
Yes, so worth it! While I shy away from gadgets that will ultimately get put int the back of a closet my air fryer has a permanent home on my counter because I use it so much.
Can have sandwiches anytime of the day! They are so delicious.
Me too for sure!
