Turkey Tea Sandwiches With Basil Mayonnaise Recipes

TURKEY TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the scallion cream cheese, combine the cream cheese, scallions and the salt and pepper in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Do not whip.
• For the sandwiches, have the store slice the bread lengthwise on a meat slicer into 1/4-inch-thick slices. (If that isn't possible, you can slice it crosswise with a very sharp knife.)
• Lay out 8 slices of bread and spread them all with a thin layer of scallion cream cheese. Place a single layer of turkey on half the slices, cutting the edges to fit the bread. Place the basil leaves randomly on top of the turkey. Top with the other 4 slices of bread, cream cheese side down. Lay the sandwiches on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, cover with damp paper towels and wrap the sheet with plastic. Refrigerate until the cream cheese is cold and firm. Place the sandwiches on a cutting board and, with a very sharp knife, cut off the crusts. Cut each large sandwich in half crosswise, and then cut each half diagonally, twice, to make a total of 8 small triangles. (If the bread was cut crosswise, follow the assembly directions, then cut off the crusts and cut diagonally, twice, to make 4 small triangles.) Serve chilled.

TURKEY TEA SANDWICHES WITH BASIL MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Place mayonnaise and basil in a food processor; process until basil is finely chopped, scraping down sides as needed. Spread mayonnaise mixture over each bread slice. Layer 5 bread slices with turkey and cheese; top with remaining bread slices. Cut each into 4 long pieces.

TURKEY-KALE SANDWICHES WITH PEPPER MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil and the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook, turning occasionally, until crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, leaving the drippings in the pan.
• Season the turkey cutlets on both sides with the paprika, thyme and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Increase the skillet heat to medium high. Add the turkey and cook, turning once, until just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; reserve the pan drippings.
• Mix the mayonnaise and chopped peppers in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper and set aside. Put the kale in a medium bowl; add a pinch of salt and the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and massage with your fingers until bright green and softened, about 1 minute.
• Brush the bread with some of the reserved bacon drippings, then spread with the pepper mayonnaise. Mound the kale on 4 bread slices. Cut the turkey into pieces so that it will fit on the bread and layer on top of the kale. Break the bacon in half and add to the sandwiches. Close with the remaining bread slices. Serve with chips.
