How to prepare Turkey sandwich

To prepare the Turkey sandwiches, start with the apple. After washing and drying it, remove the core 1 and slice it thinly using a mandoline 2. Drizzle with lemon juice to prevent them from browning 3.

Set aside and move on to the tomato. Wash it, dry it, and slice it thinly with a knife 4. Then wash the Swiss chard, drain it 5, and move to the stove. In a pan, heat some oil with a sliced garlic clove and a chopped chili pepper 6.

When the garlic has flavored the oil, remove it with a skimmer 7 and add the Swiss chard 8. Sauté for a few minutes over high heat and then turn off the heat 9.

Now prepare the sauce. Place 3 peeled cloves of garlic in a mortar and pound them well 10 until they become creamy 11. Then in a bowl, beat the egg yolk with salt using a whisk 12

and two drops of lemon juice 13 and slowly add the vegetable oil 14. When the mayonnaise has thickened, add the remaining lemon juice 15

and the garlic cream 16. Set aside and retrieve the turkey breast slices. Gently pound them with a meat mallet or pestle 17. Heat a grill well and add salt, pepper, and a drizzle of oil on the surface 18.

Grill the slices and let them get a nice color first on one side 19 and then on the other: don't forget to use tongs to turn them 20. There's one last step before assembling the sandwiches: toasting the bread. Quickly toast the slices of bread in a pan until golden 21.

Now assemble the Turkey sandwiches. On one slice of bread, spread some garlic mayonnaise 22, then add the greens, tomatoes 23, and apple slices 34

and the turkey breast 25. Repeat but in reverse order, so apple slices, tomatoes 26, greens, and the slice of bread with mayonnaise. Enjoy your meal! 27

Storage

Once the turkey sandwiches are ready, it is recommended to consume them immediately.

Tip

If garlic isn't your friend, you can omit it and make your Turkey sandwich and sauce more pleasant. You can add a pinch of grated ginger to the sauce!
