TURKEY-SALAD SANDWICH

TURKEY COBB SALAD SANDWICH
Steps:
- In a deep kettle combine the turkey breast with enough cold water to cover it by 1 inch and remove the turkey breast. To the kettle add the onions, the carrots, the bay leaves, the peppercorns, and the vinegar, bring the mixture to a boil, and add salt to taste. Return the turkey breast to the kettle and poach it, covered, for 30 minutes, and drain it, discarding the other solids.
- In a skillet cook bacon over moderate heat until crisp and transfer to paper towels to drain. Toast bread and spread 2 slices with blue cheese and remaining 2 slices with mayonnaise. Thinly slice turkey diagonally. Pit and peel avocado and thinly slice. Divide turkey, bacon, avocado, and lettuce between blue-cheese bread slices and top with remaining 2 slices.

Steps:
- Mix dried cherries, celery, honey mustard and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Let sit to let flavors meld, 10 minutes. Add mayo and mix until incorporated. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Add turkey, then mix and season to taste.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients, especially the turkey and mayonnaise. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final product.
- Don't overmix the salad. Overmixing can make the salad dry and tough.
- If you're making the salad ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before assembling the sandwiches.
- For a healthier version of the salad, use Greek yogurt or avocado instead of mayonnaise.
- Add your favorite mix-ins to the salad, such as chopped celery, carrots, grapes, or nuts.
