Summer Turkey Sandwich
This Summer Turkey Sandwich is an homage to the one my mom made me through childhood with shredded carrots and seasonal veggies.
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough or seeded bread
- 6 slices of sliced deli turkey
- 2 medium carrots grated on a box grater
- 4 slices baby bibb lettuce
- 1 small heirloom tomato sliced
- good quality salt and freshly-cracked black pepper to taste
- a drizzling of good quality extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup radish sliced thin
- 1/2 large just ripe avocado sliced thin
Herby Dijonaise:
- 2 Tablespoons avocado oil mayonaise I prefer Chosen Foods brand
- 1 Tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 Tablespoon fresh chives sliced thinly
- a large sprinkling of good salt
- 5 cracks of freshly-cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Begin by toasting your bread in a toaster or under a broiler to your liking. You can also keep bread soft if you prefer.
- Set bread aside and prepare the Herby Dijonaise. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Set aside.
- Add your vegetables to a plate to assemble sandwiches. Drizzle avocado and heirloom tomato with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- To assemble two sandwiches, add a liberal amount of Herby Dijonaise to all four slices of bread.
- On two slices, add three slices of folded turkey followed by bibb lettuce, avocado slices, heirloom tomato slices, sliced radish and shredded carrots.
- Add remaining slices of bread atop each sandwich and carefully slice in half with a serrated knife. Enjoy!
