Turkey Melt

Turkey, Apple, and Swiss Melt
This is a very VERY good sandwich and it's not bad for you. Vary the fruit to suit your kids' preferences--use red- or green-skinned apples or pears. My favorite is green apples because it adds a little sourness with the sweet. Let your kids help out by individualizing their sandwiches (let them choose the cheese and fruit).


Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 8 (1-ounce) slices whole-wheat bread
  • 4 (1-ounce) slices cheese
  • 5 ounces thinly sliced Granny Smith apple or pear (about 1 small)
  • 8 ounces thinly sliced lower-sodium deli turkey breast
  • Cooking spray

Directions
  1. Combine mustard and honey in a small bowl.
  2. Spread one side of each of 4 bread slices with 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard mixture.
  3. Place one cheese slice on dressed side of bread slices; top each with 5 apple slices and 2 ounces turkey.
  4. Top sandwiches with remaining 4 bread slices.
  5. Coat both sides of sandwiches with cooking spray.
  6. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Add sandwiches to pan.
  8. Cook 2 minutes on each side or until bread is browned and cheese melts.
