Open-Faced Turkey Sandwich with Spicy Apple Chutney

I made this today for lunch, when I wanted a turkey sandwich but discovered we were out of cheese. It takes some time, but its still really easy.

Ingredients:

-olive oil
-1/4 onion
-2 oz red pepper
-1/2 small apple (I just ate the other half while cooking)
-1 tsp ground ginger
-1 tsp cayenne pepper
-1 tsp cinnamon
-apple cider vinegar
-2 slices deli turkey
-1 handful of baby spinach leaves
-1 slice bread (I used sourdough)
-salt and pepper to taste

1. Chop the onion, red pepper, and apple in roughly the same size chunks. You can peel the apple if you'd like, but I prefer skin on. Coat a pan in olive oil, toss in the chunks, and saute on medium heat.

2. Add salt, pepper, ginger, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon. Stir, then just let them saute so they become soft.

3. Meanwhile, put the oven on broil. Take your slice of bread and drizzle it with just a little bit of olive oil. Place under broiler, just until one side is slightly toasted. On the untoasted side, arrange the spinach leaves and turkey slices. Place back under broiler, just enough that the turkey is warmed.

4. The apple mixture should be fairly soft now. Add in a splash of apple cider vinegar and stir. Spoon the mixture over your hot sandwich. It's messy, I suggest using a knife and fork.

There's no picture, I ate it too fast.
