How to Make All American Turkey Apple Picnic Sandwich

  1. Toast two slices of bread to your desired level of crispness.
  2. Spread 1 tablespoon of mustard on one side of each bread slice.
  3. Layer 3-4 slices of turkey breast (approximately 3 ounces) on one slice of toasted bread.
  4. Top the turkey with 1-2 slices of your favorite cheese (approximately 1 ounce). Cheddar, Swiss, or provolone all work well.
  5. Arrange 2-3 thin slices of apple (about 1/4 of a medium apple) on top of the cheese.
  6. Carefully place the second slice of toasted bread on top, mustard-side facing out.
  7. Cut the sandwich in half (optional) and enjoy immediately!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
