Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 pound turkey cutlets (each about 1/3 inch thick)
3/4 cup watercress leaves plus about 1 cup tender sprigs
1/3 cup mayonnaise
twelve 1/2-inch slices brioche or challah, toasted lightly
12 slices bacon, cooked until crisp
3 small tomatoes, sliced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

Heat a well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat until hot and grill turkey 3 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through. Cool turkey on a cutting board and cut into 4 portions.

    In a small food processor or blender purée watercress leaves and mayonnaise until smooth and blend in remaining tablespoon lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.

    Step 3

    Spread watercress mayonnaise on 8 toast slices and top 4 with turkey and salt and pepper to taste. Top turkey with 4 remaining mayonnaise-spread toasts, mayonnaise sides up, and top each portion with bacon, tomatoes, and watercress sprigs. Top with remaining toasts.
