In celebration of Sandwich Day, we're putting together a gourmet sandwich that's full of color, texture, and flavor. Aptly titled 'Autumn Glory', it reflects fall's wonderful array of produce and meats. This sandwich is a stunning combination of roasted turkey, crispy bacon, delicate Brie, and a homemade cranberry-apple chutney. The chutney subtly enhances the flavors of the meats and cheese, tying everything together for a perfect bite.

Ingredients (for 2)

Fresh or frozen cranberries - 1 cup
Apple - 1 - peeled, cored, and diced small
Roasted turkey slices - 6 slices
Bacon slices - 4 slices - cooked until crispy
Brie cheese slices - 4 slices
Artisan bread slices - 4 slices - toasted
Butter - 1 tablespoon
Sugar - 2 tablespoons
Water - ¼ cup
Salt - to taste

Preparation

Step 1 - 🔥🍎🥣

In a small saucepan, combine the cranberries, diced apple, sugar, and water. Simmer this on low heat until the cranberries burst and the chutney thickens, about 15 minutes total.
Step 2 - 🍞🧈🥪

Butter the toasted sides of each slice of the bread. Start building the sandwich with 2-3 slices of the roasted turkey, then add a slice of Brie cheese and cooked bacon. Finally, add a generous dollop of your homemade cranberry-apple chutney on each of the sandwiches.
Step 3 - 🍽️🥪😋

Top your prepared sandwiches with the second slice of toasted bread. Serve these immediately for best taste and enjoyment.

Additional

Fun fact: The first recorded sandwich was made by the famous Rabbi, Hillel the Elder, who lived during the 1st Century B.C. He started the Passover custom of sandwiching a mixture of chopped nuts, apples, spices, and wine between two matzohs to eat with bitter herbs. If you want to add some veggies to this sandwich, arugula or spinach would add a nice touch.
