Saturday Afternoon Snack: The Nutty Bird

One of my favorite coffee shops back home has a wonderful sandwich called the Nutty Bird.  The Nutty Bird is a great sandwich that is super easy to make, and perfect for a lazy Saturday afternoon lunch at home.  Here is what you need:

Sunflower seeds and salt

Your favorite jam - here is my favorite, strawberry

Cream cheese

A quality turkey such as Boar's Head

One-half of a plain bagel

Then you put it together like this

Toast the bagel half

Spread the cream cheese onto the bagel

Salt the bagel with some quality salt like - Cyprus Onyx

Slather it with jam

Sprinkle with sunflower seeds

Add 2-3 turkey slices

Devour!

Pour yourself a glass of sparkling water

Happy eating!
