TURKEY TEA SANDWICHES

Turkey Tea Sandwiches image

Provided by Ina Garten

Yield 32 sandwiches; 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

3/4 pound (12 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup minced scallions (white and green parts)
Pinch kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
1 loaf dense raisin-nut bread, unsliced
8 thin slices fresh or smoked turkey breast
Fresh basil leaves

Steps:

For the scallion cream cheese, combine the cream cheese, scallions and the salt and pepper in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Do not whip.
For the sandwiches, have the store slice the bread lengthwise on a meat slicer into 1/4-inch-thick slices. (If that isn't possible, you can slice it crosswise with a very sharp knife.)
Lay out 8 slices of bread and spread them all with a thin layer of scallion cream cheese. Place a single layer of turkey on half the slices, cutting the edges to fit the bread. Place the basil leaves randomly on top of the turkey. Top with the other 4 slices of bread, cream cheese side down. Lay the sandwiches on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, cover with damp paper towels and wrap the sheet with plastic. Refrigerate until the cream cheese is cold and firm. Place the sandwiches on a cutting board and, with a very sharp knife, cut off the crusts. Cut each large sandwich in half crosswise, and then cut each half diagonally, twice, to make a total of 8 small triangles. (If the bread was cut crosswise, follow the assembly directions, then cut off the crusts and cut diagonally, twice, to make 4 small triangles.) Serve chilled.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Finger Sandwiches image

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were my favorite food when I was a kid. My dad and I used to make PB&J crackers for an evening snack. And we usually had cinnamon-raisin bread in the house, so this version was a natural favorite. -Erica Allen, Tuckerton, New Jersey

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
If you don't have any raisins, you can substitute currants or dried cranberries.
Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy for a smooth, creamy filling.
Don't overmix the dough; otherwise, the cookies will be tough.
Bake the cookies until they are just set; overbaking will make them dry.
Let the cookies cool completely before filling them.
If you don't have any powdered sugar, you can make your own by grinding granulated sugar in a food processor or blender.
To make the sandwiches ahead of time, store the cookies and filling separately in airtight containers. When you're ready to serve, fill the cookies and enjoy!
