Make-Ahead Turkey and Swiss Sandwiches with Carrot Slaw

Step 1

For the carrot slaw: Mix the grated carrots with the vinegar, mayonnaise, chives, parsley, caraway, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl.

Step 2

For the sandwiches: Lightly toast the bread. Prop the bread against something and let it cool upright so that the steam does not make it soggy.

Step 3

Lay out the bread and generously slather with mustard. Divide the turkey equally among 4 slices of the bread and the cheese evenly among the remaining 4 slices. Top the turkey with the carrot slaw and pickles, then invert the bread with the cheese over top to make 4 sandwiches. Wrap each sandwich in wax paper and refrigerate for up to 4 hours until ready to serve.

Step 4

Cut the sandwiches in halves or thirds before serving.
