Nutritional Information

Directions:

Caramelized Onions: Peel and julienne onions. Heat olive oil in large sauté pan or skillet on medium heat. Add onions stirring occasionally. Sauté until onions begin to turn golden brown. Stir in balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Cook until golden color is achieved. Hold hot until ready to use.
Roasted Green Apples: Remove core and seeds from Granny Smith apples. Slice apples into ¼-inch thin slices lengthwise. In a bowl, combine sliced apples and olive oil. Toss gently to evenly coat. Place apples in a single layer on a baking sheet. Evenly sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning over top of apples. Roast apples in a 350°F oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until apples are lightly browned yet still semi-firm. Cool at room temperature.
Roasted Garlic Cloves: Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine garlic and olive oil. Toss to evenly coat. Spread evenly on baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes or until golden brown and soft. Remove from oven and chop coarse. Hold hot until ready to use.
Garlic Dijon Mayonnaise: Combine garlic cloves, mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Mix until well blended. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
Sandwich Build: Lay bread on flat surface. Place 3 ounces sliced turkey on one slice of bread. Place 1 ounce sliced cheddar cheese on top of turkey. Place 1/8 cup Caramelized Onions on top of cheese. Place 4 slices Roasted Green Apples on top of onions. Place 1 leaf green lettuce on top of Roasted Apples. Spread 1 tablespoon Garlic Dijon Mayonnaise on second slice of bread. Place bread on top of sandwich and close.
