Ingredients:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 lb smoked turkey breast, diced
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Sourdough or whole-grain bread

Instructions:

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water; add 1 tsp salt.
  2. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then immediately remove the pan from heat, cover with a lid, and let sit for 12 minutes until yolks are fully set.
  3. Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes, then peel and chop them.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until smooth.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 lb diced smoked turkey breast, the chopped eggs, 1/2 cup finely diced sharp cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup finely diced celery, and 1/4 cup minced red onion.
  6. Pour the dressing over the mixture and gently fold with a rubber spatula until evenly coated, being careful not to mash the eggs.
  7. Stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
  8. Spread a generous portion of the mixture onto toasted sourdough or whole-grain bread and press down lightly to secure the filling.
