Ready in less than 25 minutes, this easy recipe pairs turkey with a variety of fresh vegetables for a flavorful open-faced Italian sandwich. Don’t be afraid to substitute different meats for turkey—cooked chicken breast as well as sliced pork or beef would all be delicious options. While this recipe calls for fennel seed, oregano, and basil, you can substitute cumin and paprika and toss in some pickled, sliced jalapeño to give this sandwich a Southwestern spin. Instead of bread, you can also serve this over cooked polenta rounds, regular rice, or riced cauliflower. Serve with a simple side salad for an easy lunch or dinner.
