These Turkey Tarragon Tea Sandwiches are elegant, flavorful bites perfect for afternoon tea or light gatherings. Made with tender roasted turkey, smoky almonds, fragrant tarragon, and a creamy mayo base, they offer a delightful combination of textures and savory flavors, all nestled between soft sandwich bread.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 ½ cups roasted turkey, finely chopped
  • ½ cup smoked almonds, roughly chopped
  • 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 4 sprigs tarragon, roughly chopped
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Bread

  • 8 slices sandwich bread (frozen)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped roasted turkey, roughly chopped smoked almonds, mayonnaise, finely chopped shallot, roughly chopped tarragon, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly blended.
  2. Portion the filling: Roughly divide the turkey mixture into four equal portions. Place four slices of sandwich bread on a clean work surface.
  3. Assemble the sandwiches: Evenly spread one portion of the filling evenly across each of the four bread slices, making sure to cover the edges. Top each with another slice of bread, forming a sandwich.
  4. Trim and cut: Using a serrated knife, carefully cut off the crusts from each sandwich. Then, cut each large sandwich into three equal-sized tea sandwiches, perfect for serving.

Notes

  • Freezing the bread before assembling helps achieve clean, precise cuts without squashing the sandwich.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute with gluten-free sandwich bread.
  • Chilling the filling briefly before assembling can make spreading easier.
  • These sandwiches are best served fresh but can be refrigerated up to a day ahead, covered tightly.
