Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices sliced deli turkey
- 1 medium cucumber
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 8 slices whole-grain sandwich bread
- 4 leaves butter lettuce leaves
Instructions
Wash and dry all fresh produce, including the cucumber and dill.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick, and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly blended.
Spread a generous layer of the dill cream cheese mixture onto one side of each slice of bread.
Place a butter lettuce leaf on top of the cream cheese layer on 4 of the bread slices.
Lay 2 slices of deli turkey evenly atop the lettuce on each of the 4 prepared slices.
Arrange a layer of thinly sliced cucumber rounds over the turkey, slightly overlapping if necessary.
Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, cream cheese side down, pressing gently to secure.
Using a sharp knife, cut each sandwich diagonally into two triangles or into quarters if serving as tea sandwiches.
Serve immediately or wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 4 hours to keep the sandwiches fresh before serving.
