Ingredients
⅓ cup apricot jam
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ cup honey-nut cream cheese
2 tablespoon chopped dried apricots
16 slices cinnamon raisin bread slices
8 slices whole wheat bread slices
1 pound thinly sliced smoked turkey
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the apricot jam and Dijon mustard until well blended. Set aside.
In another small bowl, stir the honey-nut cream cheese and chopped dried apricots together until combined. Set aside.
Lay out all 16 cinnamon raisin bread slices and all 8 whole wheat bread slices. Spread the jam-mustard mixture evenly on one side of 8 cinnamon raisin slices and one side of all 8 whole wheat slices.
Divide the smoked turkey evenly among the 8 jam-spread cinnamon raisin slices, layering it on the spread side. Top each with a whole wheat slice, jam-spread side down, to create the middle layer.
Spread the cream cheese-apricot mixture evenly on one side of the remaining 8 cinnamon raisin slices.
Place each cream cheese-spread cinnamon raisin slice, spread side down, on top of the sandwich stacks to create the three-layer structure.
Using a sharp knife, cut each sandwich diagonally from corner to corner, creating 4 triangular pieces per sandwich. Serve immediately or wrap individually for later.
Comments
All ingredients are readily available at any Charlotte chain—apricot jam, Dijon mustard, cream cheese, dried apricots, and both breads are standard stock. The sandwich builds quickly and costs roughly $1.50 to $2.00 per serving depending on turkey quality, with sliced smoked turkey and jam driving the expense. The stated 20 minutes is honest for assembly, but understand this is a cold sandwich that does not reheat well, so it works best as a same-day lunch or light dinner. The cinnamon-apricot flavor profile is pleasant but somewhat sweet for a savory sandwich, and it skews toward a fussier presentation than a weeknight staple, though it reheats adequately if you must store it.
