Healthy Apple Turkey Cheddar Stackers: Quick Lunch Idea

Ingredients

  • Honeycrisp apples
  • Fuji apples
  • Gala apples
  • Pink Lady apples
  • Lemon juice
  • Commercial fruit anti-browning product (like Fruit-Fresh)
  • Quality deli turkey
  • Oven-roasted turkey breast
  • Thinly sliced roast beef (optional)
  • Thinly sliced chicken breast (optional)
  • Sharp cheddar cheese
  • Mild cheddar cheese
  • Swiss cheese (optional)
  • Provolone cheese (optional)
  • Colby Jack cheese (optional)
  • Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
  • Honey mustard (optional)
  • Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Cream cheese (plain or herb-flavored, optional)
  • Hummus (optional)
  • Spinach leaves (optional)
  • Butter lettuce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Apples: First things first, wash your apples thoroughly. Then, core them carefully to remove the seeds. Slice each apple into rounds or half-moon shapes, about 1/4 to 1/3-inch thick. I find that about 4-6 slices per apple works well, depending on the size of the apple.
  2. Prevent Browning: Immediately after slicing, arrange your apple slices on a plate. If using lemon juice, gently brush or spritz both sides of each apple slice with a very light coating. If you’re using a fruit anti-browning solution, follow the package directions for application.
  3. Ready the Turkey: Take your turkey slices. To make them stack neatly and give a bit of height, I like to fold each slice into quarters or roll them up loosely.
  4. Prep the Cheese: Ensure your cheddar slices are roughly the same size as your apple slices. If you’re slicing from a block, aim for a similar thickness as your turkey.
  5. Assemble Your Stackers: Start with an apple slice as your base. If using, spread a tiny amount of honey mustard or cream cheese on top of the apple. Layer on a piece of folded turkey. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the turkey. If adding greens, tuck a small spinach leaf or lettuce piece on the cheese. Finish with another apple slice on top to create your ‘sandwich.’
  6. Secure (Optional but Recommended): For stability, especially if packing for lunch, gently insert a toothpick or a decorative party pick through the center of each stacker.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Your Apple Slice Turkey & Cheddar Lunch Stackers are now ready to be devoured!
