These "small" sandwiches are simply awesome! The fresh basil is the key. Have made these several times when entertaining a few house guests and they are always a hit.

I made these for senior canasta night, and they were barely touched. I heard one person say they were too onion-y. The flavors with the raisins, green onions, basil and turkey together did taste odd to me, too. Sorry. I really wanted to like these.
