| 1 lb | turkey breast |
| 2 tsp | olive oil, divided |
| 1/2 cup | egg whites |
| 2 tbsp | skim milk |
| 3 tbsp | jam |
| Cayenne pepper, to taste | |
| 8 slices | whole-grain bread |
| 1 cup | baby spinach leaves |
| 1 | pear, thinly sliced |
| 4 1-oz slices | low-fat Swiss cheese |
In a shallow dish, whisk together egg whites and milk. Season with salt, black pepper and cayenne. Set aside.
Spread about 1 tsp jam on 1 side of each bread slice and place, jam-side-up, onto a flat work surface. Layer equal parts spinach, pear and turkey onto 4 slices of bread. Top each stack with 1 slice cheese and another slice of bread, jam-side-down, pressing gently.
In a medium nonstick saute pan, heat remaining tsp oil over medium heat.
Using a spatula, carefully dip 1 side of a sandwich into egg mixture (egg mixture should go about halfway up the bread slice when immersed). With your hand on the top of the sandwich and spatula underneath, carefully flip to immerse the other side in egg, then gently transfer to hot pan.
Saute sandwich, turning once, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes total. Remove from pan. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Cut sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
