Ingredients

• 4 slices White sandwich bread
• 4 slices Whole grain sandwich bread
• 8 slices Sliced turkey breast
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese
• 4 leaves Lettuce
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Lay out the white bread and whole grain bread slices on a cutting board.

Step 2

Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully trim the crusts off all the slices of bread.

Step 3

Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly onto one side of each bread slice.

Step 4

Place a slice of turkey on four slices of bread (two white and two whole grain).

Step 5

Layer a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the turkey, followed by a piece of lettuce.

Step 6

Sprinkle each sandwich with a pinch of salt and black pepper for added flavor.

Step 7

Carefully stack the sandwiches as follows: place a turkey-topped white bread slice on a turkey-topped whole grain slice, ensuring the colors alternate for a checkerboard effect. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.

Step 8

Using the knife, cut each stacked sandwich in half diagonally to form two triangles, then cut each triangle into smaller checkerboard quarters, ensuring the checkerboard pattern remains visible.

Step 9

Serve the checkerboard turkey sandwiches immediately, or arrange them on a platter for a visually appealing presentation.
