Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 4 slices hearty bread preferably a sourdough, preferably homemade
• 1/2 lb smoked wild turkey
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary
• 8 tbsp mayonnaise
• 4 tbsp whole-grain mustard
• 1 tbsp honey
• 8 tbsp pickled apple chutney 1 diced apple, 1/2 cup cider vinegar, 2 tbsp salt, 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 4 ounces of your favorite medium cheddar gouda can be nice, too

Instructions

 

• First, let’s get the apples in a quick pickle: Heat the vinegar and

  combine with salt & brown sugar, and apple and set aside. You can

  do this up to several days in advance – just be sure to drain it before

  using or you’ll only taste vinegar.
• For the sandwich: First heat your oven to bake at 400 degrees and

  prepare a baking sheet for the top rack.
• Combine the mayonnaise, whole-grain mustard, honey and

  chopped rosemary.
• Butter one side of your bread and smear the other liberally with

  your sauce.
• Construct your sandwich with the remaining ingredients – turkey

  and cheese.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and your bread is sufficiently toasty.
