Outstanding

The flavors of fall meet in this sandwich. Tangy Havarti cheese provides a pleasing contrast to the sweet apples and spicy arugula. Substitute nutty fontina or mild Muenster for the Havarti, if you prefer.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 sandwich)

Ingredients

  • 4  (2-ounce) slices country or peasant bread
  • 4  teaspoons  low-fat mayonnaise
  • 4  teaspoons  Dijon mustard
  • 1  cup  trimmed arugula
  • 4  (1/8-inch-thick) slices red onion
  • 12  ounces  thinly sliced deli turkey
  • 2  Pink Lady or Cameo apples, each cored and cut crosswise into 8 (1/4-inch-thick)slices
  • 1/2  cup  (2 ounces) grated Havarti cheese
  • Coarsely ground black pepper (optional)

Preparation

Preheat broiler with oven rack in middle position.

Spread each bread slice with 1 teaspoon mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon mustard. Layer each slice with 1/4 cup arugula, 1 onion slice, 3 ounces turkey, 4 apple slices, and 2 tablespoons cheese.

Place sandwiches on a baking sheet; broil 4 minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Remove from heat; sprinkle with pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.
