Some people, like my mom, don't like turkey. I love it, but I will admit it's a pretty boring meat by itself. Being a lover of spicy foods, I decided to change up my usual turkey sandwich lunch. I was pretty happy with how it turned out - there was a nice combination of spice and flavor with sriracha (a Thai chili sauce) and black pepper juxtaposed with cheese and sour cream to keep it smooth. Also, sitting at 395 calories, it's not a bad choice! If you lose the bread and just toss everything over arugula, that cuts it down to 195 calories, but if I'm going to contribute to my Middle East politics class today, I'm going to need some 7 grain goodness. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 slices wheat bread
4 slices turkey (I used turkey with cracked pepper for a little extra flavor)
2 tablespoons light sour cream
1 teaspoon sriracha (at most supermarkets)
3 thin slices of sharp cheddar (I bought a block of cheddar, but if you're using precut slices just use one, or 2-3 tablespoons of shredded cheese)
1 slice of red onion (or about 2 tablespoons chopped)
2 tablespoons arugula
2 pickle slices
Mix together the sour cream and sriracha sauce and divide it between the two slices of bread. Place the turkey, cheese, onion, pickles, on the sandwich and sprinkle the chopped arugula on top.
On the side? Garden herb Triscuits and a Clementine orange were pretty delicious.
