Easy

This West Coast version of a deli sandwich uses smoked turkey rather than pastrami. This makes more coleslaw than you’ll need for the sandwiches but it’ll keep for 2-3 days in the fridge

white cabbage ¼ small, finely shredded
red onion 1/2 small, finely sliced

Method

Step 1

Put the carrot, cabbage and onion in a bowl. Add 1 tsp of white wine vinegar and 2 tsp of mayonnaise, season and mix together.
Step 2

Mix the dressing ingredients. Spread the dressing over one side of the bread. Add a couple of tbsp of coleslaw to two slices, then the turkey, then the cheese. Add a few slices of pickle then top with the other slices of bread, dressing-side down. Spread the outside of the sandwiches with soft butter. Heat a large frying pan and fry on both sides until crisp and golden and the cheese has started to melt. Serve with extra pickles.
