Classic Deli Turkey Sandwich (makes 2)

Extras & Garnish

Method

Classic Deli Turkey Sandwich (makes 2)

  1. 1

    Prep

    Bring butter and mayonnaise to room temperature so they're easily spreadable. Wash and dry lettuce and slice the tomato into 1/4-inch rounds.

  2. 2

    Assemble

    Spread 1 tbs softened butter on the outside of each bread slice that will be grilled (optional) or leave plain for a cold sandwich. On the inside of two slices, spread 1 tbs mayonnaise evenly. Mix Dijon into the remaining mayonnaise or brush Dijon on one slice for extra kick.

  3. 3

    Layer

    On each sandwich bottom slice: place 4 oz (about half) of turkey (4 oz per sandwich), then 2 oz sliced cheddar (one slice per sandwich), two tomato slices, two lettuce leaves. Season tomato with a pinch (about 1/8 tsp) kosher salt and a grind (1/8 tsp) black pepper.

  4. 4

    Finish

    Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side out if grilling. If grilling, heat a skillet over medium and cook sandwiches 2-3 minutes per side until golden and cheese begins to melt. If serving cold, simply cut sandwiches in half and serve with pickle spears and chips.

Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich (makes 2)

  1. 5

    Prep

    Slice ciabatta rolls horizontally. Thinly slice the cucumber and red onion. If roasted red peppers are jarred, drain and pat dry. Crumble the feta if needed.

  2. 6

    Make quick dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp dried oregano, 1/8 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Toss this lightly with the sliced cucumbers and red onion to flavor them.

  3. 7

    Assemble

    Spread about 2 tbsp hummus on the bottom half of each ciabatta roll (approx 1 tbsp per sandwich). Layer 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, half the dressed cucumber and red onion mixture, crumbled feta (about 1.5 oz per sandwich), and 1/2 cup baby spinach divided between the two sandwiches.

  4. 8

    Finish

    Close sandwiches and press gently. If desired, toast in a skillet or panini press 2-3 minutes until warmed and slightly crisp. Cut each sandwich in half and serve with chips and pickle spears.

Extras & Garnish

  1. 9

    Plate each sandwich with a pickle spear and a cup of potato chips. Offer import beer at the promotional price alongside the sandwiches; chill bottles before serving.
