  • 2 slices Whole Grain Bread Any hearty whole grain or rustic bread is suitable.
For the Toppings

  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by slicing the Fuji apple into thin rounds to maximize crispness and sweetness. Next, dice pickled red onion into smaller pieces for easy layering. For the seasoned smashed avocado, mash it in a bowl with a pinch of salt until creamy. Gather all your ingredients together, ensuring everything is ready for a smooth assembly of your Turkey Apple Cheddar Sandwich.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the turkey bacon. Allow it to fry for about 6-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until crispy and golden brown. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
  3. Take a slice of whole grain bread as your base and layer on the smoked turkey, followed by the crispy turkey bacon. Next, place slices of sharp white cheddar cheese and fresh apple rounds on top. Scatter the diced pickled red onion and a generous amount of creamy coleslaw over the fillings for added texture and flavor.
  4. Drizzle your tangy mustard sauce liberally over the hearty layers of fillings.
  5. Carefully place another slice of whole grain bread on top to complete your sandwich. Using a sharp knife, slice diagonally for easy handling, revealing the delicious layers within. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm cheese and cold apple in your Turkey Apple Cheddar Sandwich.
