Turkey sandwiches get a makeover with this tasty Italian-version. Cream cheese is mixed with lemon and Italian seasoning, spread on bread and then layered with roasted turkey breast (homemade or store-bought), roasted red peppers and fresh, fragrant basil. Tender baby spinach leaves, peppery arugula or baby kale leaves are also great options. If you have a panini press, turn this into a hot sandwich.
