Turkey Paisano Sandwiches with Fig-and-Black Olive Vinaigrette

4.6

(14)

Sunday lunch. From Lake Austin Spa Resort in Austin, Texas. Chef Terry Conlan calls this hearty sandwich "a two-fisted meal," and it's a healthful one, too: The fat is almost exclusively the good, monounsaturated kind (from olives and olive oil), and the peppers and tomatoes deliver vitamin C and beta-carotene — both known to boost the immune system. The unusual addition of fig preserves gives the sandwich a Mediterranean flair.
