Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices White sandwich bread
- 4 slices Whole grain sandwich bread
- 8 slices Sliced turkey breast
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 leaves Lettuce
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Lay out the white bread and whole grain bread slices on a cutting board.
Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully trim the crusts off all the slices of bread.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly onto one side of each bread slice.
Place a slice of turkey on four slices of bread (two white and two whole grain).
Layer a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the turkey, followed by a piece of lettuce.
Sprinkle each sandwich with a pinch of salt and black pepper for added flavor.
Carefully stack the sandwiches as follows: place a turkey-topped white bread slice on a turkey-topped whole grain slice, ensuring the colors alternate for a checkerboard effect. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.
Using the knife, cut each stacked sandwich in half diagonally to form two triangles, then cut each triangle into smaller checkerboard quarters, ensuring the checkerboard pattern remains visible.
Serve the checkerboard turkey sandwiches immediately, or arrange them on a platter for a visually appealing presentation.
