Sandwiches are always a great snack to accompany your football matches. Plus their easy to make to! I found this rather interesting Turkey, Brie and Apple Grilled Sandwich recipe online. Tasty and cheesy with an extra crunch of the apples that balances the juiciness of the meat and cheese.

Turkey, Brie and Apple Grilled Sandwich Recipe
(recipe is for 2 sandwiches)

Ingredients:

- 4 slices sandwich bread; sturdy enough for grilling
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon apple butter (substitutions could be made: maybe apricot preserves / cranberry dressing / mayo.)
- 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
- 4 oz. (weight) brie cheese (rind removed or left on)
- 1 apple of choice (make it a crispy and tasty choice!)
- 2 slices turkey breast (you can use more turkey if you like)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

- Begin by preheating your panini press, grill pan, skillet or oven. If using a grill pan or skillet heat over medium heat; if using an oven set to broil (low if that’s an option).

- Start building the sandwich by laying out your sandwich bread and lightly brushing the insides with olive oil. On one piece of bread, spread apple butter; on the other mayonnaise. You don’t need much of either.

- Cut the brie into thin slices. To make the brie easier to slice, put the brie in the freezer for 20-30 minutes. Use a serrated knife with long, smooth, strokes for happy brie slicing. Place one layer of brie slices on one piece of the bread.

- Next, thinly slice your apple of choice. (Used above is Granny Smith but you can use what you’d like, just make sure it’s nice and crispy. Top the layer of brie with a layer of apple slices.)

- Add the turkey* on top of the apple. (Cold Turkey slices can also be used or alternatively you can use grilled chicken)

- Salt and pepper to your liking.

- If you’re using a panini press, grill pan or skillet, lightly brush the heated surface with olive oil before placing the sandwich on.

- Panini/grill press users- place the sandwich on and “press” for about 4 minutes. Check every minute or so to avoid burning. You want the cheese to melt and the sandwich to warm but not burn.

- Grill pan or skillet users- place sandwich in pan place another pan on top to press the sandwich or press sandwich with spatula. Cook on one side for about 2 minutes, then flip and cook on other side for about 2 more minutes. Again, you’ll want the cheese to melt and sandwich to warm but be careful to watch for burning.

- Using your oven on broil? Lightly brush outside of sandwich with olive oil. Place sandwich on baking sheet or directly on oven baking rack in heated oven. Be very careful to watch for burning. After about 2 minutes, carefully (carefully!) flip sandwich and continue heating for another minute or 2. Cook time will depend on your oven and your bread choice. Don’t walk away – keep an eye on it.
