Ingredients

  • 1 2 1/2-pound bone-in, skin-on turkey breast, split
  • 2 3/4 teaspoons sea salt or kosher salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 cup toasted and chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons plain Greek-style yogurt
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, homemade or store-bought
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 Honeycrisp or Pink Lady apple
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 ribs celery, thinly sliced on the diagonal
  • 1/4 cup chopped dried cherries
  • 8 slices seed-and-nut bread or Two-Day Multigrain bread, toasted
  • 8 leaves romaine lettuce, torn
  • 1 cup alfalfa sprouts or your favorite sprout

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350F.

Season the turkey breast on all sides with 2 teaspoons of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper. Place the turkey in a small roasting pan or on a baking sheet, and roast for 30 minutes then brush the turkey with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and continue to roast for another 30 minutes or until the thickest section register an internal temperature of 165F on an instant-read-thermometer.

Remove the pan from the oven and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Let the turkey rest for at least 15-20 minutes. Once the turkey has rested, remove the breast bones and cut the turkey into thin slices. Reserve on a platter.

To make the Waldorf dressing, in a medium bowl, combine the chopped pecans with 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, parsley and vinegar. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Halve and core the apple then cut it into thin slices on a mandoline. In a medium bowl, toss the apple slices with the lemon juice, celery and cherries. Add the dressing and toss.

In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons yogurt, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix well.

To assemble: Place 4 slices of toast on a clean work surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of the yogurt-mayonnaise mixture on each slice of toast. Top each one with lettuce leaves, several slices of turkey, 3/4 cup of the apple salad and 1/4 cup of sprouts. Top with the remaining slices of toast. Cut each sandwich in half, and serve immediately.
