Turkey Sandwich Extraordinaire


Right....You're thinking "turkey sandwich"???? But this is really quite delicious, believe you me!

Bread - luscious, fluffy bread of choice
lettuce - my preference is butter or Boston lettuce
sliced tomatoes
sliced cucumbers (optional - but I like the crunch it offers)
Deli sliced turkey
lingonberry jam (no, not cranberry - but you can use cranberry or raspberry)
cream cheese spread (the "extraordinaire" part - recipe follows)

Assemble it. Here is my order of preference: cream cheese spread on bottom slice, turkey, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, lingonberry jam on top slice.


Cream Cheese Spread - beat together:
1 8oz brick of cream cheese
1/2 c unsalted butter (1 stick)
kosher salt to taste
pinch of dried thyme
pinch of dried oregano
pinch of dried basil
pinch of ground coriander
1 t. garlic powder
