Turkey Apple Sandwich (Open Face)

Kimberly Murray

*The measurements below are merely estimates, as I rarely use a recipe or measure anything while cooking.

Meat Mixture:

1 lb. ground white turkey

1/3 large white onion

2 cups finely chopped spinach

¼ teaspoon minced garlic

1 large farm fresh egg

1 ½ tablespoons smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground pepper

3 tablespoons western dressing

10-12 drops frank’s red hot sauce

Vinaigrette:

extra virgin olive oil

raspberry vinegar

Sandwich:

whole wheat bread

apple butter

Colby jack cheese

Instructions:

Heat a large grill pan (or frying pan) on low with EVOO, slowly increasing the heat as you continue preparing the ingredients.

Mix all ingredients of meat mixture with hands in a medium mixing bowl.

Form mixture into small patties and set aside.

Add amount of raspberry vinegar as desired to the warm pan.  Do not overheat oil, as this will cause a fire when mixed with the vinegar.  Allow the mixture to simmer a few minutes before placing patties onto the grill pan.

While the patties are on the grill pan, prepare the bread.  Spread a thin layer of apple butter on each piece of bread.  Place thin slices of Colby jack cheese on top of the apple butter layer.  Set pieces aside until turkey patties are thoroughly cooked.

Place hot turkey patties directly on the bread, cheese, and apple butter.  Allow the turkey to melt the cheese before eating.

Green veggies are a great side for this dish.
