Ingredients
Pan-fried bread:
- 2 lices rye bread
- 2 teaspoons butter
Spicy Turkey Veggie mixture:
- 5 ounces turkey breast fillet
- 2 Tablespoons sunflower oil (or canola)
- 1 medium onion peeled and chopped
- 1 clove garlic peeled and minced
- ¾ cup tomato passata
- ⅓ bell pepper fresh, paprika variety
- ¼ teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 pinch black pepper ground
- salt
- 2 Tablespoons spring onion to garnish, green, rings
Instructions
- Cut 5 ounces turkey breast fillet into small cubes. Peel and finely chop 1 medium onion. Peel and mince 1 clove garlic. Clean ⅓ paprika bell and cut it into short strips.
- Heat 2 Tablespoons sunflower oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté for about three minutes until soft. Add the turkey, season with a little salt, and cook for 3-5 minutes until the juices from the meat have evaporated.
- Mix in the chopped peppers and ¾ cup tomato passata. Reduce the heat to low and sauté for about 5 minutes. The peppers will soften, and the tomato passata will thicken the mixture. Add a bit of water if the passata is too thick or evaporates too quickly.
- Remove the skillet from heat, add the ¼ teaspoon chili flakes, and season with 1 pinch ground black pepper and salt to taste. Set the mixture aside and keep it warm in the pan.
- Fry the slices of bread: Spread a thin layer of 2 teaspoons butter on both sides of each of 2 slices rye bread. Cook the bread in a frying pan over medium heat until golden brown on both sides. It takes about two minutes on each side if the pan is hot enough. Make sure not to burn the bread.
- Assemble the hot open faced sandwich: Layer a warm turkey and vegetable mixture on a slice of fried bread. Serve with 2 Tablespoons green spring onion rings, and enjoy!

Notes
- Makes 2 hot open-faced sandwiches.
- Depending on your taste preferences, adjust the intensity of the mixture. If you like your food spicy, add more chili flakes or chopped hot peppers to the mixture.
- Optional (but I recommend it for cheese lovers): Add a layer of grated cheese to the sandwich. A good choice is Edam, Cheddar, or your other favorite cheese.
