Smushed Turkey and Cheese Sandwich Recipe

Smushed Turkey and Cheese Sandwich
Difficulty: Easy | Makes: 2 tiny sandwiches

Mashing it down makes it hold together all that much better—and makes it more fun to take in a school lunch.

This recipe was featured as part of our Good Food for Kids photo gallery.

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Slice 2 sweet yeast rolls in half horizontally. If your little one likes mayonnaise or mustard, you can spread about 1/2 teaspoon of each on each roll. Place 1/2 ounce of sliced turkey breast on the bottom of each roll and 1/2 ounce of cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese on top of the turkey. Smush the sandwiches by placing a cast iron or other heavy pan on top of them for at least 5 minutes.

By the time I got hungry and asked for one they were always smashed flat and extra tasty that way. :)-COLLAPSE

  • We can always enjoy both :)

  • it's a lot silly. Like someone just thought of it! Guess these pepole never heard of a panini!

  • This idea is little silly, but for some reason, I find that breads that are sweeter do taste best when smushed. I used to do it to egg breads all the time as a kid. Never would think to smush a sandwich on purpose though!

  • I don't know..simple, but sounds mighty tasty!

  • I agree, but it certainly made me want a smuched sandwich. it actually just brought me back to elementary school.

  • what is there to think about here, really?

    i find the smushed sandwich to be a common and un-wanted result of brown-bagging; no recipe required.
