Instructions
Before you begin
- Before you begin: Make your pickled red onions, if using.To make a spiced blueberry jam stir a spritz of lemon juice, a sprinkle of garam masala and generous pinch of salt into 3 or 4 tablespoons of blueberry jam.
Assemble the sandwich
- Slice a ciabatta roll in half lengthwise, rub each half with olive oil. Preheat your oven (or toaster oven) to 450 degrees. Place roll, cut side up on a baking sheet, now place cheese on the top piece of the roll. Toast in oven for about 4-6 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Skip melting the cheese if using a spreadable cheese like goat cheese or cream cheese. Instead, spread cheese over toasted top roll half.
- To make dressing, combine the arugula rocket, olive oil, vinegar and 1 tablespoon of the spiced blueberry jam in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. If you are not making the pickled red onions, add about 1 teaspoon finely grated red onion to the salad and toss. Set aside.
- Spread a generous layer of the spiced blueberry jam over the cheese. Now, add a generous layer of mayonnaise on the other bottom half of the roll and top with the turkey. Place dressed arugula on top of the turkey. Garnish with pickled red onion, if using. Add the top piece of ciabatta. Push down on the sandwich. Slice the sandwich in half or wrap it and keep it in the fridge for up to 1 day.
