Turkey-Apple Sandwiches

These were a last-minute concoction that turned out quite yummy! They're very simple, with no cooking (duh--it's a sandwich!), but they have some tart granny smith apple slices for an added crunch.

You'll need (for 4 sandwiches):
  1. 8 slices Wheat bread (I used 9-gram Sara Lee because they are large slices)
  2. 1/2 lb. thick sliced turkey (again, Sara Lee, sliced fresh in the grocery store deli)
  3. 1 Granny Smith apple, sliced
  4. Spicy or Dijon Mustard

You'll make them by:

  1. Preheat your oven broiler on high.
  2. Place all the bread slices on a large cookie sheet and brown them for about 2 minutes, or until lightly toasted. I like the soft, freshness of wheat bread, so I only toast one side of it. But, if you want both sides toasted, just flip the slices over and toast another 2 minutes. It's helpful to toast at least one side to keep the bread from getting soggy if not eating the sandwiches immediately.
  3. Spread mustard lightly on the toasted side of each bread slice.
  4. Place apple slice(s) on 4 of the pieces of toast atop the mustard.
  5. Top the apple with 2 oz. of turkey for each sandwich.
  6. Place the other bread slice, mustard side down on top of the turkey.
  7. Cut diagonally and serve with veggies and dip, fruit salad, or chips!

Nam! Nam!
