**Full Disclosure: This post is brought to you by Goldrich Eggs. The opinions and ideas included are my own. #GoldrichYolk
We are an egg-loving family. I make an egg-based breakfast for dinner at least once a week. And my kids would eat eggs every day for every meal, if I let them!
With Thanksgiving rapidly approaching, I wanted to come up with a creative {weekend} lunch idea to celebrate the holiday. After vetoing several of my own ideas, I settled on making Turkey-Shaped Egg Salad Sandwiches for my boys.
Turkey-Shaped Egg Salad Sandwiches with GoldRich #GoldrichYolk
Ingredients
- 6 eggs hard-boiled
- 6- ish TBSP mayo
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- salt pepper and paprika to taste
- bread
- bacon cooked
- chocolate chips for the eyes
- orange sprinkles or carrots for the nose
Instructions
-
Dice the hard-boiled eggs to your liking (very thin or big & chunky, your choice!)
-
Mix the diced eggs with the mayo, dijon mustard, salt, pepper and paprika until everything is incorporated.
-
Put it in the fridge until you are ready for the egg salad.
-
While the egg salad is chilling, cut two slices of bread into circles (one bigger than the other).
-
Put the bacon under the larger bread circle.
-
Cover the large bread circle in egg salad.
-
Place the smaller bread circle on top of the egg salad.
-
Arrange the eyes (chocolate chips) and nose (sprinkles or carrot) on the smaller piece of bread.
-
Serve & enjoy!
Recipe Notes
My kids moved the bacon to the top of the egg salad, under the small circle, which worked a little better.
To be honest, I was a little worried they wouldn’t eat the sandwich because they haven’t been huge egg salad fans in the past, but James & Colin scarfed down the sandwich. It must have been turkey shape that helped? The egg salad was oh-so-good and only took about 40 minutes (because I had to boil the eggs) to make.
Would you make turkey-shaped egg salad sandwiches for yourself (or your kids)?
This is such a cute idea! Isn’t funny how just making a sandwich in the shape of something can make breakfast exciting?! Love this idea! Thanks for sharing!
The boys love eggs so this will be a great addition to our recipes. Looks delicious too. Yum!
Oh this is such a cute and clever idea for a thanksgiving/turkey themed lunch sandwich! :
That is a super cute idea! I used to eat egg salad all the time as a kid, but my girls are not that enthusiastic about it 🙁 I’ll try this with a chicken salad instead.
Cute idea! Love the bacon for the tail feathers. I wouldn’t mind having this one for myself. 🙂
What a cute idea! I love egg salad and eat it regularly. I’ll have to look for Goldrich eggs the next time I’m at the store.
That is tooooo cute! I really wish my daughter would eat sandwiches, but she won’t touch them. BUT . . . that doesn’t stop ME from making this!
This is a really neat surprise for Thanksgiving morning. Wake up, watch the parade and make Turkey sandwiches.

I love this! So cute! Sawyer would just flip if I served this for Breakfast! He’s always requesting eggs!
This is so stinking cute. I am going to have to make this over Thanksgiving weekend! 🙂
