Recipe: Smoked Turkey, Mango Chutney, and Blue Cheese Sandwiches

SMOKED TURKEY, MANGO CHUTNEY, AND BLUE CHEESE SANDWICHES

"Pick up almost all these ingredients in the deli section of your grocery store. Mango chutney works its magic again. Its complex flavor can tune up many old standards."

FOR THE CHEESE SPREAD:
6 ounces mild blue cheese (such as Maytag, Gorgonzola, or Stilton)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoons bottled mango chutney, large pieces of mango chopped up
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Juice of 1/2 lemon
FOR THE SANDWICHES:
4 (5-inch) pieces Italian or French bread, cut in half lengthwise
1 pound thinly sliced smoked turkey
8 to 10 arugula or lettuce leaves

TO MAKE THE CHEESE SPREAD:
Mash together the cheese, mayonnaise, chutney, parsley, and lemon juice. Adjust the seasonings to your taste.

TO MAKE THE SANDWICHES:
Spread the cheese mixture on each half of the bread slices. Layer each sandwich with turkey and lettuce. Serve as open-faced sandwiches or top with a second slice of bread.
