Ingredients

Pan-fried bread:

2 slices rye bread
2 teaspoons butter

Spicy Turkey Veggie mixture:

5 ounces turkey breast fillet raw
2 Tablespoons frying oil sunflower or rapeseed oil
1 onion
1 clove garlic
¾ cup tomato passata
⅓ paprika bell fresh
¼ teaspoon chili flakes
1 pinch black pepper ground
salt
2 Tablespoons green spring onion rings to garnish

Instructions

Cut the turkey fillet into small cubes. Peel and finely chop the onion. Peel the garlic clove and mash it with a knife or push it through a press. Clean the bell pepper and cut it into short strips.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and fry while stirring for about three minutes until soft. Add the turkey meat to the onions, season with a little salt, and fry for about 3-5 minutes, until the juices released by the meat have evaporated.
Mix in the chopped peppers and tomato passata. Reduce the heat to low and sauté for about 5 minutes. The peppers will soften, and the tomato passata will thicken the mixture. Add a bit of water if the passata is too thick or evaporates too quickly.
Remove the skillet from heat, add the chili flakes, and season with pepper and salt to taste. Set the mixture aside and keep it warm in the pan.
Fry the slices of bread: Spread a thin layer of butter on both sides of each bread slice. Cook the bread in a frying pan over medium heat until golden brown on both sides. It takes about two minutes on each side if the pan is hot enough. Make sure not to burn the bread.
Assemble the hot open faced sandwich: Layer a warm turkey and vegetable mixture on a slice of fried bread. Serve with sliced green spring onions, and enjoy!

Notes

Makes 2 hot open-faced sandwiches.
Depending on your taste preferences, adjust the intensity of the mixture. If you like your food spicy, add more chili flakes or chopped hot peppers to the mixture.
Optional (but I recommend it for cheese lovers): Add a layer of grated cheese to the sandwich. A good choice is Edam, Cheddar, or your other favorite cheese.
