I love lazy weekends, they don't come around often but when they do I love to take advantage of classic movies on TV and a yummy lunch. Last summer I found a recipe for a turkey sandwich with an aruguala salad in Real Simple and thought I would combine the sandwich and salad into one dish. The warm sandwich with the peppery arugula and sweet nectarines tasted extremely gourmet for a quiet Saturday afternoon.

Meal: Turkey, Brie, & Nectarine Sandwich with pretzels and onion dip (combine a packet of dry onion soup mix with a small container of sour cream, thank you Amylee!)

ps- Don't forget to vote on my future Personal Chef business name (the poll is on the top right of this page). Thank you!

Turkey, Brie, & Nectarine Sandwich
Adapted from Real Simple July 2008 (serves 2)

2 tbsp honey mustard
2 slices crusty bread
1/4 lbs thinly sliced turkey breast
1 nectarine, pitted and sliced
3 oz Brie, sliced
2 oz arugula
1/4 yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat Broiler (on low)

In a small bowl combine arugula, onion, oil, salt and pepper.

Take slices of bread and top with mustard, layer with arugula mixture. Add turkey, Brie, and place on baking sheet. Put under broiler until cheese melts and bread begins to toast, about 2 mins.

Remove from oven and top with nectarines. Serve immediately.
