Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 slices fresh lean turkey breast
  • 4 slices artisan bread (such as crusty country bread or soft ciabatta)
  • 4 tablespoons creamy goat cheese
  • 2 tablespoons sweet jam (fig, raspberry, or apricot recommended)

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh greens (arugula or baby spinach)
  • Butter or olive oil, for spreading or drizzling
  • Toasted walnuts or pecans for added crunch
  • Grainy mustard or sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Bread: Select your favorite artisan bread and slice it evenly to ensure a balanced sandwich. Lightly toast the bread to enhance texture and prevent sogginess when spreading the cheese and jam.
  2. Spread the Goat Cheese: Using a butter knife, generously spread a thick layer of creamy goat cheese on one or both slices of bread, ensuring full coverage to create a flavorful base.
  3. Add the Jam: Spread a thin layer of your chosen sweet jam over the goat cheese. This sweetness contrasts beautifully with the tangy cheese and savory turkey.
  4. Layer the Turkey: Arrange fresh turkey slices evenly over the jam, stacking as desired for a hearty and protein-filled bite.
  5. Add Optional Greens: Top with fresh arugula or baby spinach to add freshness and a subtle peppery note that brightens the sandwich.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Place the second slice of bread on top, press gently, cut the sandwich as preferred, and enjoy immediately or pack for later consumption.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality turkey and artisan bread for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Allow goat cheese to soften slightly at room temperature before spreading to prevent tearing the bread.
  • Apply a thin layer of jam to avoid overpowering sweetness.
  • Lightly toast bread to add crunch without overshadowing other flavors.
  • If packing for lunch, wrap the sandwich tightly in parchment paper to maintain freshness.
