What makes this sandwich so good?

How do I make it?

Start your turkey brie sandwich by making blueberry mustard: combine thawed wild blueberries, whole grain mustard, and chia seeds. Set aside to thicken. 

Make sandwiches by placing 2 slices brie, turkey on top of a slice of bread. Then place second slice of bread on top.

Add butter or cooking spray to a small saucepan, and heat over medium heat. Grill sandwich in small saucepan until cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Remove your turkey brie sandwich from saucepan and place on serving plate. Remove top slice of bread, and set on the side. Spoon wild blueberry mustard on top of turkey and cheese, then add a handful of arugula to sandwich. Replace top slice of bread.

Substitutions/Tips

• Serve your turkey brie sandwich with chips and/or a green salad.
• Use regular frozen blueberries if you can't find wild blueberries, but know that they won't be as flavorful or tart as the wild variety.
• Remove blueberries from freezer 30 minutes before making sandwiches to thaw, or thaw in microwave for 30 seconds.
• Place lid on pan to melt cheese more quickly and prevent bread from burning. You can also use the lid to press down the sandwich if it's too tall.
• Other great add-ins: cucumbers, sprouts, spinach, granny smith apple, ham, etc.
