The Heartstopper Club Recipes

BREADLESS DOUBLE-DECKER TURKEY CLUB

Steps:

• Core the apple and slice into 1/4-inch-thick round slices, slicing from the center of the apple to get even pieces. Coat the apple slices with lemon juice. Place down an apple slice as the base of the sandwich and top with 2 slices of turkey, 1 slice of cheese crisscrossed, 1 slice of bacon crisscrossed and 1/4 cup arugula. Top with another slice of apple and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Top with another apple slice. If transporting for an on-the-go lunch, wrap the sandwich tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to eat.

THE COOPERSTOWN CLUB

Steps:

• Prepare Tyson chicken according to package directions. Place 2 slices of cheese and 3 slices of cooked bacon on top of each chicken breast; heat for an additional 4-5 minutes until cheese melts. Set aside and keep warm.
• In a small bowl whisk together the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard and kosher salt. Drizzle olive oil into the bowl in a steady stream while whisking constantly until combined and appears completely smooth. In a medium bowl toss the spinach with 2-3 tablespoons of the maple syrup vinaigrette. Use enough to evenly coat the spinach with dressing. Set aside.
• Divide the dressed spinach evenly on half of the bread slices. On the remaining 4 slices of bread drizzle with about 2-3 tablespoons of the maple vinaigrette. The bread should be evenly coated, but not soggy. Place each chicken breast on top of the dressed spinach leaves. Top with a few apple slices. Close each sandwich. Use remaining vinaigrette as a dipping sauce for the sandwich. Enjoy!

TURKEY CLUB

Steps:

• Bread: Use 3 slices of a good white sandwich bread (pain au lait or Pullman loaves are ideal). Be sure to toast it!
• Lettuce: Bibb and Boston lettuce both have nice small, soft leaves that fit well on the sandwich; shredded iceberg can be unruly.
• Tomatoes: Add 2 slices of tomato to each layer of a club; season with salt and pepper before you continue building the sandwich.
• Turkey: Fresh roasted turkey is key. Rub a 2 1/4-pound skinless, boneless turkey breast with olive oil; sprinkle generously with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Roast 10 minutes at 425˚ F, then reduce to 350˚ F and roast until the internal temperature is 160˚ F, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool, then slice.
• Mayonnaise: Spread a thick layer of mayo on each slice of toasted bread.
• Bacon: You'll want 3 slices per sandwich (1 1/2 slices in each layer). Halve the slices first, then cook in a skillet over medium heat until crisp.

TUNA AVOCADO CLUB

Steps:

• Break up the tuna in a medium bowl. Stir in the cucumber, olive oil, mustard, scallions, dill, lemon zest, and season with salt and pepper.
• Lay the bread on a work surface and spread about 1/4 of the tuna mixture on 4 of the slices. Top with avocado slices and lettuce. Lay the tomato slices on the 4 remaining pieces of bread; season with salt and pepper and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Close the sandwiches, pressing each one together slightly. Serve.
• Alternatively serve them open faced to use less bread.
