Cosi Turkey and Stuffing Sandwich



Presenting….

one of the BEST sandwiches I ever had!

Well, at least best sandwich I had eating out. Nothing can beat a homemade peanut butter and jelly sandwich on fluffy white (yea, I said it) bread with globs of peanut butter and jelly. MMM.

Anyway, insert the Cosi Turkey and Stuffing Sandwich. I’ve been WAITING for this baby. It’s seasonal, and I always happen to fall in love with seasonal items. Good for the companies, bad for me when I want a stuffing sandwich in July, or some fruity flavored thing in the winter (so typical of my body to crave out of season….how DARE it!!!?)

I went to the gym Friday and afterward wanted to reward my muscles with some protein after a hard muscle workout. Β My options were scrambled eggs (which…. I have every day), yogurt (for lunch? Nah…) or a nice sandwich from Cosi. Bread? Carbs? Protein? Count. Me. In.

I ordered the sandwich, which came with carrots, and a drink and it came to about $10.00. A little on the pricy side for sure, but usually worth the money in flavor.

Here’s what the sandwich looked like once I got home.

One bite….and I was hooked.

Starting with the bread (<3) which I’m almost positive I asked for Whole Grain, and I’m pretty sure I got white bread. I would know…the Whole Grain usually has a whole bunch of flax seeds and such in it, and this one I found MAYBE one or two stragglers. Hmm. Whatever. It was still beyond delicious so even though the inner soon-to-be nutritionist was yelling Uh, RETURN THIS! Go get your whole grains! Stop eating refined carbs! my brain was yelling There’s no way I’m walking back 10 blocks to return a sandwich and taste buds were yelling this is too dang delicious to stop eating.

So it was settled. I ate the white-possibly-whole-grain-but-I’ll-never-know bread. Flaky, crusty, goodness. Mmm.

The turkey pieces (medallions??) were chewy and there were PLENTY of them. They were a bit salty and otherwise a wee bit bland/dry if eaten alone, but still good.

The stuffing was so good. It was flavorful, and I tasted a piece of celery in there. It was very bready, and very yummy, with spices (but NOT spicy!)

Lastly, the cranberry. Sweet and soft, and like a spread. Went perfectly with the stuffing and turkey.

Overall, HELLO leftover sandwich BEFORE Thanksgiving! I would call that a win. There’s 435 calories in this sandwich which is a bit more than I’d eat normally for lunch also considering the carrots (um…and the cookie I ate with it but let’s forget about that….) but it was well worth the money and the calories.

Who invented this sandwich? She or he is a genius. 4.5 stars

  1. This sandwich terrifies me. Not because I think it would be gross, but because I think I’d love it. Your review pretty much helps me confirm that. Thank goodness there is not a Cosi anywhere near me.

  2. hahha oh I’m SURE you’d love it. I love it. Im going to be broke really soon, because I HAVE to go back and get another!! πŸ™‚

  3. That sandwich sounds great. I wouldn’t worry about your white vs wheat predicament.

    -GI is irrelevant for the most part, especially for a mixed meal

    -2 vs 3 g of fiber in your bread selection. I doubt either have a substantial amount of micronutrients

    RD? Do you still have to intern?

  4. yes! yea, intern and then exam and then voila RD! I also want to be a personal trainer. boo yaaaa

  5. I went to cosi the other day and got this sandwich because of your review. OMG NOM NOM NOM. It’s such a good thing this is not available year round. lol That would be trouble! Lisa, for a nutrition student, you are suchhhh a bad influence!!! πŸ˜›

    I realized though that, like a lot of other “whole grain” products, their whole grain bread most probably has a significant amount of refined flour in it. I’d actually bet that it’s *mostly* white flour, but I suppose partial whole grain is better than none at all!

  6. hahah yep! and I know, isnt it AWESOME!??!?! glad you enjoyed it. Im happy its seasonal too…. πŸ˜‰

  7. hi! i work at cosi. the whole grain bread is not completely whole grain, they still use the regular flour from the rustic bread, but just add the grains and brown sugar πŸ™ and its more calories than the rustic bread… also the stuffing is stove top, the cranberries are canned, and the turkey we receive pre-cooked and frozen…it still is a damn good sandwich though, i added bacon on mine πŸ˜› so if you ever do get the craving in july just buy a piece of bread ($1.07) from cosi and make ur own at home πŸ™‚

  8. hahha WELL nice to know all the secrets. thats a tad upsetting. oh well, its still really tasty! maybe Ill just get the white bread and save myself 20 calories from now on πŸ˜‰
    thanks!
