What are some vegetarian alternatives to lunch meat?

healthy eggplant sandwich recipes image

HI

I'm becoming a vegetarian, and I'll be going to high school in the fall and packing a lunch. I was wondering, what are some meat-free alternatives to turkey or ham sandwiches? And what would be a good example of a healthy, vegetarian lunch?

Thanks.

Answer
there are some veggie lunch meats available but they are a bit expensive especially if you're gonna eat them every day so i would suggest making your own at home.here are two recipes that are delicious

I want to say salads, but I think that is way obvious. But I would suggest you try this website I found with tons and tons of amazing recipes for all sorts of things. If you like the website and choose to use it, I recommend also reading some of the comments because they've found ways to switch it up to make the dish even better.

Also, I don't know how quick you want things made. I estimate if a dish can be ready from start to finish in 20 minutes, its quick! (Of course, I don't count the 5-10 minutes to prepare marinades the night before). I also don't know if you have access to an oven or stove top...

Here are a few (quick?) vegetarian dishes I found:
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Three-Bean-Salad/Detail.aspx (prepare time is short, but needs to chill for 12 hours)
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Eggplant-and-Pepper-Parmesan-Sandwiches/Detail.aspx (25 minutes total time!)
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Quick-and-Easy-Stuffed-Peppers/Detail.aspx (Microwavable stuffed bell peppers! My boyfriend tried this recipe and said it came out as good as ones baked in the oven)
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/College-Students-Saucy-Chickpeas/Detail.aspx (college student's recipe!)

There's also lots of smoothie recipes and lots of fun salad recipes on there also.

I hope that helped a little. Just browse around a little more and I'm sure you will find some great recipes. Print them out, make your own little recipe book (that's what I did for my boyfriend's birthday) and have some cooking fun.
