Roasted Turkey Sandwich with Herb Cream Cheese & Strawberries
CATEGORIES
INGREDIENTS
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 8 slices good quality dense white bread, toasted
  • 1/2 pound roasted turkey breast, thinly sliced
  • 1 pint strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
  • Fleur de sel* optional
  • *Fleur de sel is a high grade coarse sea salt and is available at gourmet shops.
DIRECTIONS
  1. Combine the cream cheese and herbs. Spread the toasted bread with a layer of the herbed cream cheese. Place 2 slices of turkey on top and then some strawberry slices. Garnish with more herbs and a few grains of fleur de sel, if using. Slice each sandwich in half.
  2. NOTE: I used freeze-dried herbs and regular leftover turkey (not thinly sliced), ommitted the sea salt & the sandwich still came out great.
