1. (NU) - As autumn tempera-
tures move in, sidewalks are
painted orange with freshly fall-
en foliage, cozy sweaters are tak-
en out of storage and mouths be-
gin to water for hearty dishes
packed with fall-friendly ingre-
dients. There’s much more than
pumpkin to freshen up your food:
Make the most out of your fresh
farmer’s market picks and create
seasonal sandwiches with these
simple add-ins that blend all of
your favorite autumn flavors.
• Butter-up: Pumpkin may be
the star of autumn, but butternut
squash is quick on its heels. Easy
to prepare and packed with vita-
mins A and C, butternut squash
adds a hearty sweetness to any
dish. Give your sandwiches a sea-
sonal makeover by creating cus-
tom spreads and sauces blended
with butternut squash. From a
roasted squash, manchego and bal-
samic-onion grilled cheese to a
tangy goat cheese and squash
spread on your favorite panini, this
quick addition is sure to give any
sandwich an extra burst of flavor.
• Gobble up extra protein:
When the leaves start to fall,
turkey takes center stage as the
go-to protein for sandwiches,
snacks and, of course, Thanks-
giving dinner. But why wait for
leftovers to enjoy a classic turkey
sandwich? Lean turkey options
help elevate sandwiches while
still packing a nutritional punch.
“Look for turkey products that
are lower in sodium and fat with-
out sacrificing the amount of pro-
tein you get in each serving,” says
registered dietitian and cookbook
author Jessica Fishman Levinson
MS, RDN CDN. “A great option
is Simply Delicious Slow Roast-
ed Turkey Breast from Land
O’Frost, which offers 8 grams of
protein for only 50 calories per
serving.” Simply Delicious is cer-
tified as heart-healthy by the
American Heart Association and
contains no artificial flavors, by-
products or added hormones.
• Apple a day: Apple pick-
ing is a favorite autumn past
time, but what do you do with
all those freshly picked apples
after the pie is made? Use every-
one’s favorite seasonal fruit to
brighten up a warm grilled pani-
ni or gourmet grilled cheese
with a layer of homemade ap-
ple chutney or apple butter.
With these tips in in mind,
you’ll be able to incorporate your
favorite seasonal flavors into an
endless array of sandwich combi-
nations. For coupons and more in-
