Smoked Turkey, Brie, Green Apple & Watercress Sandwich

Anybody can make a turkey sandwich but this French inspired dish is something really special. Crusty French bread, mild creamy Brie, tart apple and peppery watercress bring sophistication and a quick trip through the oven makes the cheese melty, the bread toasty, and everything nice and warm. It is s meal in itself and served with a glass of crisp Chardonnay - it is awesome! :) Cooking Light Magazine, August 2003 edition.
