Grilled Veggie-Turkey Sandwiches!


Grilled Veggie-Turkey Sandwiches!

Yield; 4 sandwiches
NI: 1 serving equals 450 calories, 16g fat 4g fiber. (These values were based on original sandwich) I tweaked it and put it through a WW'er recipe builder reducing the point value by 4! I made the changes in the recipe I provided you.

If you want a melt in your mouth and plead for more type of sandwich this is the one for you! I will give this 5***** any day!!!!

1/2 each large red and yellow pepper
4 slices of red onion, each about 1/4 inch thick
16 thinly sliced zucchini rounds
Cooking Spray
1/4 tsp garlic powder
4 slices of sourdough bread (from round loaf, cut 1/2 inch thickness) cut in half. Or....8 slices sandwich bread! **Definitely go with the sourdough in my opinion it grills beautifully!
8 tsp olive or canola oil (I cut that amount in half)
1/4c reduced fat garlic and herb spreadable cheese (I used 1/2 tbsp on each of 4 pcs bread)
8 basil leaves
6 oz thinly sliced cooked turkey (buy the no fat turkey)

Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. (I used indoor grill), Spray bell pepper pieces and onion slices with cooking spray; sprinkle with garlic powder. Place vegetables on grill. Cover and grill over medium heat 5-8 minutes, turning once, until tender; remove from grill. cut pepper pieces in half. ( The first time I made this the vegetables took a lot longer to cook. I now broil them in the oven for 5 minutes to give them a head start and then throw them on the grill for an additional 3 minutes. Great texture and you still have the lovely grill markings!!)

Brush one side of each slice of bread with 1/2 tsp olive oil. Spread other side of 4 slices of bread with 1.2 tbsp cheese. Top each with 2 basil leaves, 1 onion slice, 4 zucchini rounds , 2 pepper pieces and turkey. Top with another slice of bread, oil side up.

Grill sandwiches over medium heat 2 -4 minutes, turning carefully once, until bread is toasted.
