Open-Faced Turkey Sandwich with Apple and Havarti

Randy Mayor; Lydia DeGaris-Pursell
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.
