Ingredients
  

For Turkey Sandwich:

  • 4 slices whole grain bread
  • 6 oz sliced roasted turkey breast
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 lettuce leaves
  • 4 tomato slices
  • 4 cucumber slices
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Optional: cheese slice if you’re spiraling

For Espresso Truffles:

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1½ tsp instant espresso powder
  • 7 oz dark chocolate chopped
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Cocoa powder for rolling

Instructions
 

  • Turkey Sandwich:
  • Toast bread slices if you're not emotionally fragile today.
  • Mix Dijon mustard and mayo in a bowl.
  • Spread the mixture on each slice of bread like you're doing something impressive.
  • Layer lettuce, turkey, tomato, and cucumber.
  • Add black pepper. Top with other slice. Slice diagonally for a false sense of gourmet.
  • Optional: Press sandwich for extra smugness.
  • Espresso Truffles:
  • In a small saucepan, heat cream and butter until hot—not boiling.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in espresso powder.
  • Add chocolate. Stir until melted. Add vanilla.
  • Chill mixture for at least 2 hours or until you stop doom-scrolling.
  • Scoop and roll into balls. Dust in cocoa like you care about presentation.
