Turkey Sandwich:
- 2 Slices, Toasted Brioche Bread
- 4 Slices of Brie, thick cut
- 8 Slices of Roasted Turkey, thick cut
- 2 Slices Tomato
- 2 Large Leafs of Green Leaf Lettuce
Directions:
Make the Cranberry-Pepper Jam by combining peppers, chiles, sugar, red pepper flakes and salt in a heavy wide pot over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve sugar. Stir in pectin and lemon juice. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Stir in cranberries and simmer gently until they burst and juices thicken, about 10 minutes longer. Transfer jelly to a jar, let cool, and cover.
Once the jam is made, assemble the sandwich by toasting the bread slices. Layer the lettuce, tomatoes, turkey, melted Brie, cranberry-pepper jam and top with the second toasted slice of bread. Serve warm!
