Thomas Keller: Roast turkey sandwich
The apple butter works well because it adds moisture. A little allspice and clove adds a bit of kick to it too.

  • 4 wholewheat bâtard slices, 5mm thick, to serve
  • 160 gm roast turkey slices (see note), to serve
  • 60 gm mild Cheddar, thinly sliced, to serve
  • To serve: frisée leaves
Apple butter
  • 250 gm smooth apple sauce
  • Pinch each of cinnamon, allspice and ground cloves
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Method

    For apple butter, combine apple sauce and spices in a saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently until thick and reduced to about 60ml (25-30 minutes). Stir through lemon juice, cool completely and set aside.
