I was in the mood for a turkey sandwich that would have been the envy of every lunch box and brown paper bag in high school! (Granted, my lunches were pretty envied anyway thanks to my mothers famous italian sandwiches of all of my friends)
I decided to take the simple turkey sandwich up a notch.
Best Turkey Sandwich
1 piece of frozen turkey breast (a thinly sliced cutlet is perfect)
2 tablespoon butter
1/4 of a onion diced
1 clove of garlic (if you would like a stronger taste of garlic, finely dice the clove)
2 slices of american cheese or mozzarella
1 tsp mayonnaise
salt and pepper
arugula
cherry tomatoes (sliced or quartered)
In a flat skillet saute the onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon of butter. As the onion begins to become transparent add the turkey and cover. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Turn when slightly golden on one side.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each piece of bread and cover with a slice of cheese. When you flip the turkey, check on the onion, if it has started to brown remove it from the pan so it does not burn and place the mixture onto the slices of bread. (If you have not finely diced your garlic, you can discard the clove at this point). Add the other tablespoon of butter to the pan and then place the bread on top.Let the cheese melt as the turkey finishes cooking. When the turkey has browned remove and cut into slices. Place the turkey on the bread with lettuce and tomato.
Serve with a side salad and balsamic vinegar.
