No condiments for you at all? Ketchup? Mustard? A light shmear of cream cheese?

Well, since you wonât eat mayo 
A lightish touch with mustard works with turkey, IMO. My Boxing Day lunch is usually a turkey sandwich - smear one piece of bread with mayo, top with leftover turkey (I prefer breast for use cold, leg for hot), add mango chutney, top that with lettuce, smear second piece of bread with Dijon or grain mustard. It needs a few crisps to accompany it for crunch.

Husband grew up with Durkeeâs on poultry sandwiches. A slight mustardy touch. I did not and prefer them with only mayo.

My mother was a big fan of Salad Olivier yet not of mayo.
She liked ground beef in cabbage rolls yet not Bolognese, hamburgers and such.
She enjoyed many canned fish varieties always made her salmon spread with cream cheese.
Perhaps it had something to do with age.
My Uncle always made dip with a cream cheese base and not mayo or sour cream.

Agree! And Greeks serve their take on Olivier as a dip, with pita or bread.
I used to do turkey, mayo, tomato, pickles at the sub shop or deli.
No lettuce, no mustard.
My dogs in this fight, are that
-
some posters automatically think this is a UK vs USA thing, forgetting that Canada exists,
-
and, that Chicken Salad in Canada also contains mayo.
LOL.
The real evil is people who put Miracle Whip in their Chicken/ Tuna / Egg / Salmon salad sandwiches and donât warn others.

Funny, all sandwiches other than turkey require some sort of mustard or spread (hence my refrigerator door shelves full of them). But I just like turkey on its own.
Me too, but Iâve never seen it in Oregon.
Something I truly miss.
I invented a new salad sandwich today,
Bean Salad sandwich.
Toasted whole grain bread
Purchased Lemon-garlic-parsley - olive oil bean salad (kidney, navy bean and chickpea)
Summerfresh Artichoke Asiago dip which contains mayo .
Itâs really good.

I donât like smothering in mayo too, but I canât say I would sub with butter either. Butter is delicious in many things, but butter in cold food is just congealed bits of fat too. I am not a huge sandwich fan, but I prefer something more flavorful - why just a tasteless oil like mayo? Even aioli would be a better option. But fancier places might have mashed avocado/guacamole, pickles, relish or other toppings that can add the much needed moisture - just wish it were more prevalent.
Even though I grew up with it, Iâm not fond of butter on sandwiches, either - even if itâs augmented with herbs or garlic. It doesnât help that itâs usually a fairly generous amount of butter, and I donât want to bite into half an inch of cold fat. I suppose if itâs spread thinly and has added seasonings/herbs I could dig.
Mayo is nice bc itâs versatile, and can be used very sparingly. Plus it has a nice tang.
I donât like ketchup on any sandwich (except for burgers), and mustard works only in a few sammiches for me.

We need to clarify what we each mean by âmayoâ. Duke and Best Foods/Hellmanâs are one thing; fresh homemade is quite another.
Using a small jar and a coil whisk, it takes longer to gather the ingredients than to whip up a batch and is well worth the effort.

Dukeâs or Kewpie is fine if I donât have the time to whip up my own. âGathering the ingredientsâ requires opening my refrigerator.

Perhaps another for the UK/US thread. Mention of pickle in the UK will generally will mean a Branston type pickle. Dill pickle will usually say dill pickle
By the by, when I was writing my book about food during the Great War, I was greatly helped by the Canadian National Archives. In particular, it was happy for me to use photos in their collection without any charge (whereas the Imperial War Museum in London wanted to charge me silly money). So, I have a number of photos of Canadian troops in food situations, including a lovely one of a guy standing next to a big stack of cases of âmixed picklesâ. Itâs this one:
