Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Base
- 2 slices Trader Joe’s sourdough bread
- 3 slices oven roasted turkey breast
- 2 slices Havarti cheese
Fillings
- 1 small apple, thinly sliced
- ½ cup arugula
- 6-8 dill pickle coins
- 6-8 Trader Joe’s Dill Pickle Potato Chips
Spreads and Extras
- 2 tablespoons Dill Pickle Mustard (Trader Joe’s)
- 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
- Fresh lemon juice (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the bread and cheese: Lay two slices of sourdough bread on a cutting board. Spread a thin layer of light mayo on one slice, then arrange the Havarti cheese slices thinly on top to avoid discomfort while eating.
- Add apple and mustard: On the other bread slice, spread the dill pickle mustard evenly. Layer thinly sliced apple on top of the mustard, ensuring good coverage for balanced flavor.
- Layer turkey and pickles: Place the oven roasted turkey breast slices on top of the apple layer. Add dill pickle coins evenly over the turkey. Optionally, add a small extra squirt of mayo to help bind the layers together.
- Prepare and add arugula: Toss the arugula in fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper to brighten the flavor and add freshness. Spread the dressed arugula over the turkey and pickles.
- Add crunch with pickle chips: For an extra crunchy texture, sprinkle Trader Joe’s Dill Pickle Potato Chips on top of the arugula layer.
- Assemble and serve: Take the bread slice with mayo and cheese and place it carefully over the sandwich, pressing gently to secure all ingredients. Slice the sandwich in half and enjoy the crisp, flavorful combination.
Notes
- Make this sandwich the day you plan to eat it for the freshest taste. If preparing ahead, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in a sealed bag to maintain freshness.
- For a warm and toasty variation, butter both sides of the bread and grill the sandwich on medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
