As a turkey lover who can't get enough during fall and winter, I was inspired to come up with a restaurant-worthy sandwich. I love it with a soft, rich cheese like Brie. —Grace Voltolina, Westport, Connecticut

Test Kitchen tips
It takes a little extra effort to saute the apples, but the extra flavor is worth it.
Arugula has a peppery flavor that goes well with apples and cranberries, but milder spinach or Boston lettuce works well, too.
